There is nothing principled or admirable about taking stands or actions or inactions that condemn your family and neighbors to life under the opposition in a country where Executive Orders can make things happen, the judiciary can be stacked with recess appointments and your nation's leader is seen on TV apologizing to the UN and France.

And I'll save some criticism for the rest of us, too. The pro Bush folks. We are doing nothing admirable if by inaction we let our families and neighbors wind up under the opposition. The inaction is not failing to vote; it is failing to find a way to volunteer to help the campaign in battleground states. If a battleground state is adjacent to yours, make arrangements with your boss now to have time off in that time frame, vote at home early and drive to that state to volunteer with GOTV efforts that day.

Victory requires sacrifice. Always.
