An interesting tid bit for those people unhappy with the outcome

Nov 05, 2004 11:05

My Aunt sent me this article and I just took the last little bit of it and decided to put it here for you people to read:

'Here's my advice: You had a couple of days to indulge your
depression - now, get over it. The election's been lost but
there's still a country to save, and with the current
leadership that won't be easy. Crucial matters that have
been taken for granted too long - like the Supreme Court
and Social Security - are at risk. Caving in to depression
and a sense of helplessness should not be an option when
the country is speeding toward an abyss.

Roll up your sleeves and do what you can. Talk to your
neighbors. Call or write your elected officials. Volunteer
to help in political campaigns. Circulate petitions. Attend
meetings. Protest. Run for office. Support good candidates
who are running for office. Register people to vote. Reach
out to the young and the apathetic. Raise money. Stay
informed. And vote, vote, vote - every chance you get.

Democracy is a breeze during good times. It's when the
storms are raging that citizenship is put to the test. And
there's a hell of a wind blowing right now.'
