Dear Fellow US Citizens
If you give a damn about your economic situation and/or democracy, do two simple things:
Now: Make sure you are registered to vote.
In November: vote for the party and candidate least likely to fuck you over as they make policies that affect your paycheck and body and schools and environment.
This is one of your opportunities to be a citizen, rather than a consumer. The voting booth is one place where money doesn't always win the contest.
This could take you as little as 15 minutes, and is unlikely to take more than 4 hours. Surely between now and November 3rd, you can find time to do that?

You don't have to be perfect, you don't even have to be smart -- the important thing is to show up.
