Now that you've had a taste, can you get excited over your local elections?

Does your local school board push Intelligent Design and Abstinence only? Do you have a mayor who values churches and liquor stores above grocery stores and libraries? Did your county commission push away a potential development because the company offered benefits to same-sex couples? It's 2017 and chances are you have local elections coming up and your $25 contributions can go a lot farther progressive (or at least sane) leadership that has the most direct impact on your life. What's more, you help create a bench for state and federal offices down the road. So if you had fun tonight giving heartburn to the right, imagine how much fun it will be cleaning out your communities in November.

1. They say that your vote is 1,000 times stronger in local elections

At least that is what they said at a forum last night. I live where turnout for local elections in less than 20%.
