Mojo, some may think that statement is harsh "VOTE OR SHUT UP" but at a rally in DC, Al Sharpton said something similar ...something like (paraphrasing here) ...if you don't vote, then don't talk to me, because you are a certified UNCLE TOM, and I don't want to hear your complaints about your hot water being turned off unfairly ... etc, etc...
He had me in my seat almost in tears. Not because he was talking/acting that way but because this is the only way to get through to some people!!
As for voter registration, I started with FAMILY, and sometimes those are the hardest people to deal with, my brother would say why is this so important to you, and I was like, we obviously did not come from the same womb .... ANYWAY - our day is coming and I sure hope, those that care can come out and unite as one and make a difference!!
