What does the Republican "Red Wave" show?

The Red Wave shows.....

There is something Republicans want to be "dead in the water".

What is it?

AMERICA'S DEMOCRACY

Our dedicated (although sometimes quiet) AMERICANS, can block this Red Wave with integrity... not deception. This is our time to.... stand up!
We have done it before. We can do it again.


REMEMBER?

(Whether your effort is large or small, please make a comittment in your own way, to preserve the principle values of our American Democracy.)

What you are suggesting reminds me of the Starfish Story (and its many variations). A little girl walking on the beach with her grandfather sees all these starfish washing up on the shore. She runs ahead, attempting to save as may as she can by throwing them back into the ocean. Her grandfather calls out to her, "Honey, stop. There are too many. Your effort won't make a difference!" She turns to him, holds up a starfish and says, "It will make a difference to this one!.

Just one thing....maybe a letter, a talk with a neighbor, a donation to "a helper" organization, particiipation in a protest,....each in our own way, we CAN make a difference.
