I've been staying away from national politics, refusing to get involved or give money. But this brief but powerful essay by Gary Wills, "Why 2012 Matters," makes a strong case for reconsidering reconsidering that position. Not the money part, though. I still can't see my way to participating in that heinous and corrupt system even it's a donation to the "good guy."
"This election year gives Republicans one of their last chances—perhaps
the very last one—to put the seal on their plutocracy. They are in a
race against time. A Democratic wave is rising fast, to wash away the
plutocracy before it sets its features in concrete, with future help
from the full (not just frequent) cooperation of the Supreme Court."
