Glad you're here! The more new members we have, it's (HOPEFULLY!) just that many more who can urge their friends and family to VOTE!!! It may simply come down to that! We CANNOT sit this one out. Believe me - the other side sure won't. But there are more of us than there are of them and if we flexed our numerical muscle at the polls every time, we'd have pro-choice Dems and rational thinking in every position possible.
