Liberation is not a gift bestowed upon us from our oppressor.

It is taken and owned by the decision that

NO ONE can keep them from it.

For too long we've watched silently as we've been violated by our government at every turn. The rights and needs of the poor, minorities, and women have been ignored and trampled upon. It's time to stand up and say no. You have the power to make a difference and it is as simple as casting a ballot in your local, state, and federal elections.
If you haven't registered to vote, you may do so in the following ways:

Registering to vote doesn't automatically sentence you to jury duty.
If you get a jury summons, don't avoid it! We need rational voices to keep our men and women from behind bars!
Convicted felons are not barred from registering!
States such as Rhode Island, South Carolina and Utah automatically restore your voting rights upon completion of your sentence. Check your state laws for complete information on restoring your voting rights if you've been convicted of a felony.
