Get Off Your Ass and Jam

To readers of Neil's excellent post just preceding (What kind of America?) this one, I want to pass on the info that I'm putting buttons into our Blue Action sidebar now that will provide you with sites to get you involved in the political process. This year will see congressional elections held all over this country, offering us the chance to get the rotters out of Congress and some decent elected representatives in. We'll have to wait two more years to work on those at the top, but this will be a very important start.

Check out the buttons for America Votes, Campaign for Change (where you can see both incumbents we'd like to keep, and new candidates we'd like to see elected in each of the states), Campaign for Our (America's ) Future, and Rock the Vote, where you can get info on registering to vote - if by some horrible accident of age or illness you are not yet registered - and immerse yourself in the rewarding activity of encouraging others to do so.

It's time to hit the streets running, folks, get educated and get active. I've been politically involved and active all my life since my teens; and I said this in 2004, but this time may the last time I can say it with any hope at all: It's now, or never.
