Wake the F*@# Up

Now here's a video I'm sure won't air as is on tv: http://www.thedailybeast.com/videos/2012/09/27/samuel-l-to-voters-wake-the-f-up.html. If by now you don't understand the dangerous forces heading your way via voting box, you've either had your head under a rock or working so hard you don't even have time to watch tv or listen to the radio.

This is a wake-up call, folks. If you aren't out canvassing, working the phones, or offering rides to the polls, just make sure you get your shiny, metal ass to the polls. Just make sure you can still vote, since your Republican governors and Representatives have been trying to limit your voting access.

And don't just worry about the Presedential election; if you have local elections you need to know what's going on so you go into the voting booth informed. Don't assume that the person you voted for last time actually voted the way you thought he / she did. Take 5 minutes to look it up (click the link in the previous sentence for help on this). For instance, in the state of Illinois, Sen. Mark Kirk suffered a major stroke in January and has been absent since Sept. That means that, for 8 months, he has been incapable of doing anything to further the economic situation in this country. What has your senator been doing? What are you going to do?
