It's come to this

It’s with a sad and angry sense of duty I’m feel compelled to post this.
I believe the republic is more at risk than any other time in our history with the exception of the civil war.
We face a threat greater than the world wars.
Greater than the Cold War.
This threat comes from within and makes it far more dangerous.
I implore you all to MAKE SURE you vote.
If you have any thoughts your mail in vote isn’t going to count because of timing of the mail or whatever don’t risk it. Don’t mail it in. GO TO THE POLLS. Do it in person.
The threat is too great. It is like a war.
As much as I hate to say it, you have to do it.
There is risk to defending your country and that is exactly what I believe you are doing by making sure your vote counts.
It’s sad and infuriating that we must risk our lives to defend our country this way. Some people are going to get sick and some people are going to die because of this....just as Americans died freeing the world from Adolph Hitler.
The stakes are too high
Get up, stand up, defend your country

The real risk I am taking will be on election day as a democratic party election judge—trapped in a room with a long line of strangers for 12 hours, but I am willing to do it this year. It’s that important.
