Get Out and Vote! (If you haven't already)

[sgsguru]

The biggest political party in the US is neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party. It's the "I didn't vote" party. If the ones who don't bother to go to the polls actually voted, they could take over the country in one election cycle.

Of the things that I consider requirements for Good Citizenship (voting, taxes, jury duty) voting is far and away the easiest, even counting the Getting Informed part. We work hard to make it easy to vote, but half of the population still can't be bothered.

Whether the issue you care about is national economic policy or the pothole in front of your house, if you don't vote, you don't get to complain.
