I don't want to rain on your happy parade, but....
These people will not go away after Nov. 6th. People who are anti women and anti choice will be elected.
They will do everything in their power to stop progress or tear it down.
If POTUS Obama wins on Tues, yes it will have been a great achievement and a proud day for the US.
But these bastards lie and cheat and will continue to do these things.
What saddens me is that Romney will even make a showing at all. That he, despite the outrageous lies, will even have a showing. That people will support a lying, tax evading cheat. That people would support a man who does not even keep his money in this country.

We need to be even stronger in the days ahead

if the Republicans lose the first post-Citizens United presidential campaign, that is VERY important renate Nov 2012 #1
