Daily Challenge
Okay, let’s get to work. With only a few more than 50 days left before the election, we have a lot of work to do. If you aren’t sure what to do, here are some strong suggestions I have for you:
1. Fight Amendment 2. If you didn’t know, we have a blog dedicated to fighting the false “marriage” protection push from the religious right, The Hate Amendment. Link to it. Read it. Do what you can to learn more about the amendment and spread the word. Learn more about the amendment in Tuesday’s video edition of the Word of the Day.
2. Get people to sign petitions for FairDistrictsFlorida.org. This is one of the biggest fights we should be engaging in right now. We get overly focused on the elections in front of us, but we need to keep the big picture in front of us. If you haven’t done so already, download and sign the petitions. Tell your friends. Link to FairDistrictsFlorida.org.
