Our government is merely an expression of our society. It is community.

This year, we are confronted with a choice. Is our government going to reflect us or reflect only the very rich?

If our society going to reflect all of us with our diverse interests and beliefs?

Or will reflect only those with a lot of money?

Our challenge is to prove that Citizens United will not defeat our democracy.

Get out and VOLUNTEER and then get out and VOTE.
