if you DON\'T like the way things are going, start turning the tide - VOTE!
if you DO like the way things are going, try and stem the tide - VOTE!
if you want the right to bitch about the government one way or the other - VOTE!
all others, stop and think - why the apathy? why the refusal to join in the debate, the fray, the civic responsibility that determines what this country stands for? [glb]VOTE!!![/glb]

:D hurdle #1 has been crossed. now the work begins...
