Commit Democracy!
Many years ago, when I was in college, a sociology professor, Dr. Carver, used to end class on Friday by telling us to go out and commit sociology over the weekend. So borrowing from him, go out and commit democracy today. VOTE. Vote with you brain and heart. Vote for intelligence. Vote for truth. Vote as if you life depends on it.
VOTE!
