Most people don't follow politics. But now there's some excitement about the Iran Letter, signed by 47 Senators. Even the corporate media has been coming out about what a stupid expression of Obama Derangement Syndrome this is. I have a small suggestion. Organize. Get people on e-mail lists. And above all, register voters. And when you get someone registered say, "Remember how you feel right now, and promise yourself that you will vote in2016."

Listed below are the 13 of 47 signatories of the Iran Letter running in 2016, and links to voter registration information. Keep voter registration information with you, not just if you're in one of these 13 states, but everybody*. The 13/47 running in 2016 are;

Richard Shelby AL http://goo.gl/EKVunL
John McCain AZ http://goo.gl/cdVv0A
Johnny Isakson GA http://goo.gl/rlchkN
Mike Crapo ID http://goo.gl/J79OXj
Mike Kirk IL http://goo.gl/znHOL1
Chuck Grassley IA http://goo.gl/h8uLgk
Dan Coats IN http://goo.gl/dvFsUT
David Vitter LA http://goo.gl/liKVfI
Richard Burr NC http://goo.gl/8C4qkT
James Lankford OK http://goo.gl/YZ3WIh
Tim Scott SC http://goo.gl/UWvwih
John Thune SD http://goo.gl/PC6k0i
Mike Lee UT http://goo.gl/oYZZEa

Remember when more people vote, Democrats win!

*Full disclosure: I am in CA**, neither of my senators signed the Letter. But I still register voters when I can because we are the state that sent you all Darryl Issa. Sorry about that.

**P.S. If you are in CA, voter reg. info is here. http://goo.gl/1u4bvS I recommend registering yourself as a Voter Registration Drive, you can get statewide registration forms good for whatever county you live in. (Helpful for me, since I can register tourists from other parts of California when I meet them.)
