Some would say the midterm elections are more important than ever, and many celebrities are using their voices to encourage their fans to get out there and vote.
In an impassioned video posted on Twitter over the weekend, VEEP start Julia Louis-Dreyfus asked concerned citizens to vote on Tuesday for candidates who have stood against what she described as the fear-mongering and racist rhetoric endorsed by Donald Trump and like-minded Republican candidates.
For years Donald Trump has been spreading fear, encouraging racism and inciting violence. On Nov.6 the hatred ends. VOTE!!!#MultiplyYourVote pic.twitter.com/P3tiVE72mN

“Donald Trump, you are the president of all citizens of this country. You must not inflame the hatred of some at the violent expense at others,” the actress, 57, told her 1.3 million followers. The video also included interviews with two Holocaust survivors, who spoke about how since Trump first assumed office, anti-Semitism is “getting, by day, worse and worse and worse.”
“We call on the president to unequivocally denounce fascism, Neo-nazism and white nationalism,” Julia remarked, urging her fans to “vote for unity” and “decency” on Nov. 6.
