President Obama Asks You To Please Vote
Apologies to those who still suffer from Stolen Election 2000 PTSD ... but this is a BHD.
"this year if you're thinking that your vote doesn't count, that it doesn't matter, well, back then there were probably at least 537 people who felt the same way."

Got GOTV Post?
From now until election day, J Town will Republish (and spotlight in our Got Post? table) personal stories of GOTV: phonebanking and canvassing and support. If you find such a story and you are a Contributor, Republish it to our group queue. If you are not a Contributor, message one of the Editors directly (don't message the Group because we will not get notified!) and we will Republish it. We are looking for personal stories of real life activism, not just links to phonebanking sites. Thank you in advance for your contributions!!
