(608 posts)While you may vote, how many of your friends don't. Get them registered. Get them informed. Get them to the voting booth. Make use of social media to get the word out to friends and family.
Work on campaigns of candidates who aren't crazy. It doesn't take a lot. One or two evenings or afternoons a month to do canvassing or phone-banking or tabling can make a big difference.
Post signs in your window, a bumper sticker on your car. Write letters to the editor of your local paper. Go on the opinion discussion forums of your local paper and talk about it. Try to convince people there.
Talk to your local Democratic party. See what you can do there. Organize rides to the voting locations for those who would not otherwise be able to go. Or organize babysitting services to make sure young families can go vote.
These are just a few ideas. If Arizonans want to take their state back from the freaks out in la-la land, then they're going to have to get up off the couch and do something about it! The crazies have got the big bucks behind them, so it's going to take a concerted effort on the grass roots level to get it done!
Good Luck!!!!
