"The reason McCain is president is I got tired of waiting in line to vote." |

I know the stories we're starting to hear are wonderful. People are having to wait in line because of purposeful or negligent lack of effort to make early voting go well. THis is a great tribute to how people are waking up and realizing their civic responsibility. We must do whatever it takes to encourage one another, but ultimately each of us has to see the evidence around us that we need a change. I hope people will take the day off for election day. Or half a day. Whatever needs to happen to ensure you have plenty of time to vote.
Don't give up. Encourage one another. We MUST make sure people are prepped for an overwhelming turnout and stay in line as long as we need to.
