You might not get many responses, but it is so important for people as well informed and interested in current affairs as DUers to be active in their communities if they possibly can.

I might add that now is the time to get active. It is important to be active between elections, to get out and register voters, etc. early. Do the groundwork early and then we will be ready for the midterms.
