The elections are only a few months away and the stakes are high. There’s conversation, debate and tons of speculation already, with everyone wondering who’s going to win. People are charged and divided between the members they feel represents them best, inadvertently campaigning for these politicians.

There’s still time till we find out who the next POTUS is, but if you’re a true American, it’s probably something that’s weighing heavily on you already. Will it be the Democrats? Will the Republican Party continue with its stronghold? Only time will tell.

However, in the meantime, you can express your love for the nation through different patriotic choices you make. Wear your heart on your sleeve by doing the following:

1. Know the pledge of allegiance

The pledge of allegiance is a patriotic gesture offered by citizens across the U.S. It’s one of the most beautiful ways of expressing your commitment to and love for the near-sacred flag under whose banner and protection we identify ourselves.

The Star Spangled Banner is a reminder to each of us, every day, of all the sacrifices that have been made to protect and uphold the integrity of this nation’s citizens—and we must pay homage to it however we can.

2. Commit to voting

Not voting is nothing short of a gross injustice that citizens commit. It’s a defiance of your civic duty and right—a right that had to be fought for by several groups across different periods of time. Your ancestors fought for your right to vote, so how do you choose not to?

Even if you decide not to vote for a certain candidate, you always have the choice to vote for someone else whose values align with yours. Not voting only gives way to the wrong people to win. It’s a responsibility and a mighty powerful one at that; so what are you going to do about this?

3. Support local businesses

Investing in local business is yet another incredible way to extend your support to the nation. Shop local, invest in indigenous and homegrown products, and support businesses that are in your community instead of shopping from large chains and multinationals. Keep the money in your economy and foster growth!

4. Put up a flag

Simple, powerful and incredibly expressive, flags are the perfect display of patriotic emotion. They’re an unapologetic declaration of your American-ness and nobody can question it.
