Okay, kids — Election Day is a week from today. If you were discouraged by what the Senate did last night (and who among us wasn't), here's what you can do for the next seven days: Volunteer, give money, and most of all, either early or on the day of, VOTE.
"Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it and to fight for it.
"Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be."
—President Barack Obama
