My friend Deacon Lasagna (a very cool and smart 18-year-old activist, urban gardener and cultural worker who you can see up close and personal in my Lots to Gardens video) would like to remind you all that, once you cast your ballot today, your work isn't finished:

"Whoever wins or loses
voting does not get you of the hook.
'Vote for change' every day
with your choices and actions."

Too true, Deacon! So, make sure you vote today, but remember that that's just the beginning of your work, and the easiest part. There's a lot more you can do to make your community, and this country, a better place.
