Get up offa

that thing!  The mid-term elections are starting now, and it is said that people vote less in these elections.  What a shame.  This must mean that we are all satisfied with the way things are going.  Hmmm..  So, we are happy with the crappy minimum wage not being raised, women's health rights are just fine being taken away, voting rights are being rescinded, education not being funded is good, our infrastructure crumbling is fine, people just like us are being turned away from the American dream, (by the way, we are all immigrants, just luckier than some,)  Can you tell I am fired up?!!!  There are ways to change the world, but sitting on our asses and complaining while doing nothing just doesn't change anything, does it?!  What would happen if we all took a genuine interest in making things better?  This is not just a U.S. idea, is it?  But all need to stand up and say, "we won't take this anymore," and vote for what we need and want.  Make a ripple, start something, see what happens.
