November 2, 2010.  I know I shouldn't need to say this. But if I don't
say it, who will?

Today is Election Day.

The entire House of Representatives is up for grabs. So are 1/3 of the Senate seats.

Pollsters (those highly-accurate people who can predict election results weeks and months in advance) are saying that control of the House will likely return to the Republican party. They're also saying there's a chance that the Senate
might do the same.

My point?

If you want to prove them right, vote.  If you want to prove them wrong, vote.  But vote, dammit.

Get your butt out the door. Go to the polling place. Make a choice -- informed or otherwise -- but *do it*. It's the simplest yet most powerful bit of political activism you could do.

Really want to get active? Call your friends. Call your family members. Tell them to vote, too. Actually, bug the hell out of them until they vote just to get you to shut up.

All the rallies, all the ads, all the talking and campaigning -- it all comes down to today, and millions of people saying, "This one. Not that one."  Including you.

This is it. Showtime. Center stage, spotlight.

You're on.
