Truth Pressed to the Earth Will Rise Again
by Harris Parnell
"I know some of you are asking today, ‘How long will it
take?’ I come to say to you...however difficult the moment, however
frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because truth pressed to the
earth will rise again." -MLK, Jr.

Vote Early!
We love voting here at the League--it's sorta what we do! We also recognize that Election Day can be absolutely chaotic for some folks. And that's why we feel strongly about voting early! By requesting an absentee, or going into your town or city hall on after October 15 (call ahead--this changes by municipality!). Vote, and make yourself heard. Vote Early, and keep your life simple!
