Oh relax; I’m calling for the arms of your chairs, some real easy and simple armchair activism. You don’t even have to get up to create a chance of having a powerful impact.

For anyone that is paying attention to Gordon20024's diaries you know that the VA election is coming up in 2 weeks and the Democrats have a chance of taking over the Senate. They have to hold all the seats that they have and add 1 for a tie, 2 to win the majority. Gordon 20024 does a diary about a different candidate every day.

Why should you care? Well, I asked one of our own that very thing, how to get a friend of mine in one state to care about the politics in another state and this is what she told me:

I'm not sure what to tell your friend, except that we are a UNITED States of America and that all states matter to one another. Also, when we take a look at our contact lists in our smartphones or our emails, we know they comprise people from all over -- not just our own states. Don't we want all our contacts, family members, friends, acquaintances, et al., to be living in a state where justice reigns? Where they have the RIGHT to vote without having to pay $36 for a voter ID? Where they have equal access to quality health care that's affordable? Where do we draw the border lines between equality and inquality, between good schools and just-okay schools?
One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,
Ms Spent Youth
