As a respected part of the business community, E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home in Cleveland, Ohio understands that to stay involved in community affairs, a certain amount of responsibility is required—such as voting in local elections. That’s why E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home encourages Cuyahoga County, Ohio residents to vote on Tuesday, November 6th. There are numerous reasons to vote, but E.F. Boyd & Son wants locals to know that no matter what you may think, YOUR vote does count and can help improve the Northeast Ohio area, as well as the entire country!
There are many reasons to vote. And voting effects every aspect of your day-to-day life in Northeast Ohio. If you take a moment to think about it, the decisions you make at the polls will affect your money, your job, your children, your health care, the roads you drive on, your social security, and even the state in which you live! So, YOU do count! Let’s take a look at how YOUR vote influences some of what was just mentioned.
From voting in your local elections to voting in the presidential election, your vote influences…your money! From the county commissioners, governor, state officials, legislators, President and members of Congress, your vote will decide how much of your wealth is invested in public services and how to fairly share the tax burden amongst the taxpayers. E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home knows that one of the best ways to stay involved in community and national affairs is to take a trip to the polls!
Did you ever stop to realize that voting also affects your job? Well, E.F. Boyd & Son wants you to know that it does! The candidates you vote for influence what job training is available, minimum wage, pay equity, fairness in hiring, health insurance through your employer, job and pension security, and workplace safety. Voting effects your everyday life! So, in a sense it’s your JOB to vote!
Even the roads you travel on through Cleveland and the greater Cuyahoga County area are based upon your vote! With the increase of traffic to county roads, voting in your local election plays a part in what highways are needed, what roads are fixed, alternative transportation decisions such as public transit, and what cost goes to the taxpayers!
E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home also wants to remind you that a vote in the presidential election and in your area…is a vote for our future generations. The decisions of elected officials will affect the dreams and goals of today’s youth!
Speaking of the youth in the community, E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home asks that YOU encourage the youth in our area to stay involved in community affairs! If your child isn’t old enough to vote, there is still plenty they can do to help. Take your children to hear the candidates speak…for both parties. Educate them and give them the vision to form their own opinions! If a particular candidate strikes a chord with the youth, encourage them to volunteer at campaign events or hand out literature on the campaign trail. Involve your child in an online election. A great mock election site to go to is www.kidsvotingusa.org. This site allows your child to be apart of an election and learn what voting is all about! Finally, E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home knows that children lead by example. So, take your child with you on November 6th and let them go into the booth with you! They will get to see you make important decisions about their future and you can explain to them why voting is so important.
E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home wants to acknowledge that Election Day is the one day each year when everyone in the United States is truly equal. Your vote counts just as much as anyone else’s…and it is a privilege that should be considered an honor! So, make sure to stay involved in community affairs by voting in local elections. And don’t forget that there are countless reasons to vote in the presidential election as well! The staff of E.F.
