Minorities Must Remember Election 2000; Should Vote

I debated long and hard before I did this, but here goes.

If you're black, brown, Latino/a, yellow, purple with white polka dots and yes, even a woman (I know we're not a statistical minority, but tell the fat old white men in Washington that), make sure you're registered, make sure you vote.

Maybe you're a different minority. For example, maybe you're the minority who has a decent paying job and still retains health benefits. VOTE because you've got friends and loved ones and neighbors who don't, who can't afford four more years.

Or maybe you're the minority who hasn't been affected by the drastic militarization and the backdoor draft. Before you join the majority there, get registered and vote!

We can't afford apathy. We can't afford to just hope things will improve. We need change. We need you. We need you to participate. We need you to vote!

Paid for by no one special except a person who is tired of watching men and women die for unjust causes, of watching public education die and vets' benefits with it.
