OCTOBER AWARENESS COLLECTION

“Argue With The Ballot, Not Me.”

From October 1 through November 2, The Monthly Bag is highlighting an important part of election preparation: awareness, registration, and being informed about the voting process.

This month's Collector's Collection brings that message to life through three statement pieces:

 The “Argue With The Ballot, Not Me.” Journal
The “Argue With The Ballot, Not Me.” Cotton Canvas Tote
The “Argue With The Ballot, Not Me.” T-Shirt

Together, they create a collection built around one simple idea:

Know. Check. Learn. Decide.

The message isn't about telling you who to vote for or how to vote. It's about encouraging people to pay attention to the process and take responsibility for their own voting decisions.

If you're eligible to vote, take a moment to check your registration and make sure your information is current. Vote.gov allows you to select your state or territory to register, update your information, and check your registration status. Registration deadlines and procedures vary by state. (Vote.gov)

Why This Collection?

Because sometimes a message deserves to be carried.

The Journal gives you a place to write down your thoughts, questions, research, reminders, and important election information.

The Tote lets you carry the message wherever you go.

And the T-Shirt puts the statement front and center:

“ARGUE WITH THE BALLOT, NOT ME.”

It's a conversation starter. It's a personal statement. And it's part of The Monthly Bag's October awareness collection.

THE OCTOBER COLLECTOR'S MESSAGE

Argue with the ballot, not each other.

And, as Ki-Ki says:

“It's levels to this ish! Now let's get to the nitty gritty.”
