Honest Government Ad | Mail-in Voting (Patreon)

Dear PatronsHere's our latest Honest Government Ad that you've made possible through your support of The Juice Media. Thank you!There's 71 days left to the US election. An election that will shape this century and the lives of all those walking this planet for decades to come. Which is why I'm taking a temporary detour from our usual coverage of the Australien Government's shitfuckery to focus on America's.Thank you to all the Aussies (and other nationalities) supporting these HGAs: I see this as a joint international aid effort of sorts :)In this HGA I wanted to focus on the bullshit that's been happening around the US Postal Service, which threatens this essential voting mechanism precisely at a time when people are going to need it most: in the middle of a pandemic, which makes voting in person risky.This HGA isn't intended to tell Americans who to vote for. That's their choice to make. Rather, it urges folks to make sure their vote is counted, by registering and request their mail-in ballots early. Because low voter turn-out is the biggest threat to a fair election. So if you know US voters, please direct them to vote.orgThanks for all your feedback on the preview and the changes we made to address the recent developments in the USPS story. Covering the US in an election year keeps us on our toes as things tend to change from day to day - but we're onto it!On a personal note, we're doing our best to push through the stage 4 lockdown we're under here in Melbourne. Fortunately we've been able to keep working. But it's challenging at home with two small kids not to be able to go outside, or see other people. And it's taken a toll especially on Lucy. That's why she wasn't able to do the voice for this HGA. But I think we can all agree Ellen did an amazing job, even though she had to come round three times to patch-in changes to the script! :-}I know some of you are also struggling during this time, too; I hope you are finding ways to manage and getting some support; or giving support to those who need it.That's all from me for now. The PG version should be up tomorrow. And I'll be back with the podcast in September - I have a *very* special guest lined up.Until then, take care. And as always, thank you for supporting our work.Giordano & team xoVIDEO LINKS:Youtube videoFacebook videoTwitter videoPS. thanks for the feedback about the wrong US flag, I've updated the thumbnails!
