As an American citizen, it is our right to vote for the leaders that determine our policies, laws and justice. At Civilian Exposure, we encourage you to exercise that right. While we do not endorse any one candidate, we encourage you to think critically about each candidate in each race. Think about their policies, their positions and their support for military and civilians that engage in the work and duties aboard military bases in your area each and every day. Look at their records on the healthcare, the environment, contamination issues, veterans’ affairs, the military, workplace safety, clean water and the many other issues that are important to you.
