Exercise your rights... FULLY!!!
Credit: http://www.crazywebsite.com/
Okay. It's over. The road to Election Day is finally over. Whether your candidate won or lost, the die has been cast. Time to relax, sip a wine, beer, or soda in a cozy chair.
Go ahead. Relax. Especially if you voted, you deserve a break.
But after that, go to work, again.
The thing is, the numbskulls of NOM - among many, many others - aren't gonna give you a rest. This, unfortunately, is a LONG fight.
But I have faith in you, if you're willing.
Read the newspaper. Write. E-write. Talk at a gathering. Petition, Gather with a crowd and scream your lungs out.
They may pooh-pooh you in public, but privately they'll hear you. I promise.
