TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN
DECISIONS AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE
TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.
ADAM: A FINAL QUESTION BEFORE
CLOSING STATEMENTS.
YOU HAVE BOTH SERVED YOUR
COUNTRY AND DEFENDED THE RIGHT
TO VOTE.
REGARDLESS OF A PERSON’S PARTY
OR BELIEFS, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO
STAY ABOUT GRANITE STATER’S
ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THEIR ROLE
IS TO OUR DEMOCRACY, ESPECIALLY
THOSE WHO MAY FEEL THEIR VOTE
DOES NOT MATTER?
MR. NEGRON?
MR. NEGRON: IN 1974, THE UNITED
STATES SENATE RACE IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE WAS DECIDED BY TWO
VOTES.
SO YOUR VOTE DOES MATTER.
NEVER THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT
IT DOESN’T.
IT ISN’T JUST A VOTE AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL.
IT IS A VOTE AT YOUR STATE,
CITY, AND TOWN LEVEL.
FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE
CONSERVATIVE, THAT IS HOW WE
REGAIN CONTROL.
WE STARTED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
WE START ON THE SCHOOL BOARD,
THE PLANNING BOARDS.
YOUR VOTE DOES COUNT.
IF AT ANY TIME YOU THINK IT
DOESN’T, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT
THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN -- I
THINK IT WAS IN AFGHANISTAN OR
IRAN THAT VOTED FOR THE FIRST
TIME, HOW PROUD THEY WERE THAT
THEY FINALLY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
TO VOTE.
I WOULD TELL YOU IT IS A GIFT TO
VOTE.
YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF YOU.
I WOULD URGE YOU COME SEPTEMBER
8 TO VOTE AND THEN FOLLOW IN ON
NOVEMBER 3.
ADAM: MS. BLANKENBEKER?
MS. BLANKENBEKER: I FEEL LIKE I
HAVE THE MOST NOBLE JOB IN THE
UNITED STATES NAVY AND THAT IS
THE ABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR
WARRIORS AS THEY PROTECT AND
DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION.
WE ENJOY CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS
IN THIS COUNTRY THAT OTHER
MEMBERS OF OTHER COUNTRIES DO
NOT HAVE.
SO, I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO
HONOR THOSE MEMBERS, HONOR THE
PEOPLE WHO WEAR UNIFORM, WHO
EVERY SINGLE DAY PROTECT AND
DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE.
THIS IS SUCH A PRIVILEGE.
HAVING SAT OVER IN COUNTRIES
OVER THE LAST 34 YEARS WHERE
PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO
VOTE, IT IS SUCH A PRIVILEGE.
HONOR OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS WHO
HAVE GONE BEFORE US AND ARE
SERVING NOW, THAT HAVE
SACRIFICED FOR YOU TO HAVE THAT
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
GET OUT AND PICK THE CANDIDATE
OF YOUR CHOICE AND FEEL PROUD
ABOUT THE FAC
