I also got DFA's Jim Dean (Howard's brother) to a radio station I guest on in the summer on Cape Cod, to help spread the word, although in Provincetown, Mass. that was definitely preaching to the choir.

I have already voted, and I must have contributed somewhere between 15% and 20% of my after-tax income to Democratic candidates and causes this year, since I'm fortunate enough to be able to do that. But in Texas, other than hoping that I have helped Wendy Davis go from underdog to top dog, it's still pretty much of an uphill battle.
