HARRISON FORD ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS

 
"I'm Harrison Ford, doing something I never thought I'd do - Telling people I've never met who I'm voting for and why I think they might do the same."

"This election, I'm casting my ballot for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Do I agree with every one of their policies? Of course not. Do I think they're perfect? C'mon, for crying out loud, they're people just like you and me. But these two people believe in the Rule of Law. They believe in Science. They believe that when you govern, you do so for all Americans. They believe that we are in this together. These are ideas I believe in. These are people I can get behind.”

"Look, I'm frustrated about a lot of things in this country, I'm sure you are, too. But the other guy, he spent four years turning us against each other while embracing dictators and tyrants around the world. That’s not who we are. We don’t need to make America great again. Come on, we are great, but what we need is to work together again. What we need is a president who works for all of us again.”



“Look, I've been voting for 64 years. Never really wanted to talk about it very much. When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms, saying, ‘For God’s sake, don’t do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They’re telling us something important. These aren’t soft people. They’re governors, generals, standing up against the leader of the party they spent their lives advocating for.”

"For many of them, this will be the first time they’ve ever voted for someone who doesn’t have an “R” for Republican next to the names listed because “they know this really matters.”

“The truth is this, Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas, and then, as we have done for centuries, we’ll debate them. We’ll work on them together, and we’ll move forward. The other guy (Trump), he demands unquestioning loyalty, says he wants revenge. I’m Harrison Ford. I’ve got one vote — same as anyone else — and I’m going to use it to move forward. I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris.”
"Everyone is political. We don't have a choice because we all live together in this big, crazy system.  And our votes will determine if this is a country that looks forward, towards optimism and ideals. Or we just keep rubbing salt into each other's wounds. If you’re still on the fence, here’s a good thing to look at: Who’s trying to scare you into voting for them? Who’s trying to make you look at your neighbors with anger, suspicion, hatred, and who is encouraging you to build something with the people around you? It would be really nice to move forward.”
