Action Alert!

Most of us are tired of election cycles every year, multiple times a year.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

We can move all the local elections to Even-Years to happen at the same time as State and Federal elections. That way we can stop having election cycles on odd years all together.

We need to get over the idea that voting is a way for us to express our personal ideals. Voting is one move in a chess game that never ends—one each voter plays with a hundred million other voters. You can't win on the first move, and if you're in a bad board position it may take a long time to get out of it. (Narrator voice: we're in a bad board position, in many ways.)

If you don't play, though, or don't make alliances with other players, you're likely to lose. Losing now will be very bad.
