(4) To assure that all eligible voters are able to vote on Election Day.
This is INDIVISIBLE...
...and Polk County is joining the movement!!! It is exciting, it is energizing, it is empowering, it unites us, and we participate in the fight to save our democracy! Want to learn more? Check out the Indivisible Guide.
Democracy continues to fail us…
It’s not because democracy can’t work, but because our politicians have failed to make it work for the people, and instead made it work for the special interests, destroying our future. -Leaders We Deserve

Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people. – Abraham Lincoln

Real democracy means that no group or faction or leader can impose their will, their ideology, their religion, their desires on anyone else. -Hillary Clinton
Let's be realistic! There is no such thing as a PERFECT governing system, but we all can strive toward a system as perfect as humanly possible! DEMOCRACY is the only system that empowers its citizens to actively participate in creating justice, dignity, prosperity, and personal freedom for all. It aims to unite people rather than dividing them. If done right, democracy provides safety, opportunity, healthcare, & prosperity to all of its citizens equally. When people can trust their government to fulfill this promise, quality of life increases dramatically.
