"The time for complaining is at an end. Action must be taken. Accountability must be demanded. Muscle must be flexed. Power must be exercised.
"Ballots must be cast."
–”Lions to the Ballot Box”, Charles Blow, NYT, 2014-04-24
My email to Blow:
"I hope your column on voter turnout is reprinted in every paper across the country. And I hope it is reprinted just before the 2014 elections.
"Big turnout trumps big money every time. Think Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina.
"I have been cajoling people to vote in my little obscure blog and in my column in Duluth weekly for going on fifteen years.
"I hope your bigger platform has many orders of magnitude of influence than my little Don Quixote tilting at political windbags."
My favorite comment:
I have a bumper sticker : "If the 47% vote the 1% won't matter".
