8. I went to the Post Office today to mail my ballot and everyone had their ballot envelope in hand.

Nov 2012

Saw an old veteran with his baseball cap with the number of his service squadron and pushing a rolling walker toward the inside to vote. The walker had a big shield on the front of it with Obama Biden 2012. I gave him the thumbs up and he smiled back at me.

High voter turnout favors Democrats and it may exceed 2008. I know how you feel, we are at a precipice in this country and Romney and Ryan and their owners the Koch brothers would gleefully kick us off the cliff.

Just remember the words of Percy Bysshe Shelley:

Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number -
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many - they are few.
