19. I would not stay home because of what I hear on tv

I also donated and volunteered time, because no matter how the elections turn out, I know I did everything I was able to do to support my candidates, and our rights.

Something to keep in mind is that the candidates who are elected by the people in their states don't just represent that state. They end up representing all of us. If the majority elected get there by hook or by crook, then their representation is tainted, and they will not listen to the voice of the people.

My new plan is to continue to hammer home the r plan to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and marriage equality. I have to years to keep pressing those points, and I sure will!
