This is Not a Drill
I'm 24 years old. I will have children someday, and they will ask me what I did in 2004. If you have children or grandchildren, yours will ask you as well. I don't want to be melodramatic about the importance of what is going on right now in the world, but I will not understate it either. What is at stake in this election cycle is absolutely enormous. Short of basic survival, there is nothing that is more important for each and every American, especially those of us who are going to have to live with the consequences for many years to come.

And it gets more strident from there.
