In reply to the discussion: I need some help here, DU. Need to have the right words to talk to a NON voter [View all]Kajun Gal
(1,907 posts)9. Write a letter and give it to her when you leave. Think like a 20 yr old...
their issues. College, birth control, job market, health care which she will eventually have to pay for when off parents insurance. The air she breathes, the air the horses breathe. So much to say. But think and take your time. End it with "I only say these things because I love and care for you. It only takes one vote to make a change in how YOU choose to live."
Just be gentle...and let her know that her choice matters a lot, no matter which choice she makes. All we have at this point is our vote.
Good luck!
