We must all either love one another or we must die.

I'd say something like this: The stakes in this election are literally a matter of life or death, far too high for you to stay home. Vote like your lives depend on it--because they do.

at the same time as LBJ was busy lying us into deeper involvement in Vietnam with his contrived Gulf of Tonkin incident/resolution in August of '64 that ultimately killed 60,000 + of my generation including 15 from my senior class alone.

Burn in hell LBJ.
