Where does this "Do Not Vote From Fear" idea apply? Not just at the national level, though it may be the most obvious there because the messages are much more blunt. Actually, your vote counts most on the local level, where the stakes are greater and the vote counts are smaller. Ten thousand votes on the national scale may not be enough to tip the election one way or the other, but it can be critical on the state and local levels. In many areas of the country, ten thousand votes on the local level would be a landslide.

Your vote applies to every level of government, so too does the idea behind Do Not Vote From Fear: Don't vote against the process, Vote for the government you want.
