George w. Bush may have helped us in a way we had not considered

[SoCalDem]

By being SO damned BAD, he woke up the sleeping giant that is the electorate.

I seem to remember another time in history that this happened.

Hoover "begat" FDR..

Perhaps our 8 year journey into the pit of darkness and despair, has led us to a place in time where people who never cared one way or the other, have risen up and said.. We are paying attention now, and we are ready to take back control.

My faith is somewhat restored when I see so many "new" people speaking out, and so many young people realizing that they do count

My challenge to you all is this..

Ask everyone you know, you meet, this question between now and November..

ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE?

and after you get THEM registered, ask THEM to ask THEIR friends to do the same.

No matter how fired up we all are, if people "miss the deadline" for registration, or do not double check to make SURE they are registered, we will lose out on the chance to send a POWERFUL mandate in November..

We need to vote in OVERWHELMING numbers this fall.

Just enough...is NOT enough..

The media does not "see" the numbers when we march or when we protest. but they WILL see the numbers in November if each one of us convince 5 more and they convince 5 more..
