Don't blog about it. Be about it. A reminder to participate in politics

@nfusionlabs Actually it was brilliant. You just didn't get it.

Do you realize what we r up against? Check out JFK's speech on secret societies.

To truly and defenitly solve a problem, one must go to it's roots. Fixing the branch of a tree that's ill is no solution to the tree!

I love the energy tho...

Great video! Doing stuff like this is crucial, nowadays every little bit helps. The omnipresence of social media can amplify your message, but it can only do so much. At the end of the day we still gotta pass out fliers / hit phone banks / initiate actionable steps. Props to you for being able to walk it and talk it...

P.S. Did Nas - Take It In Blood inspire this video's title!?! 10 bonus points if so.

We are much greater control over things then we sometimes think. Can we single handedly turn around the countries political situation itself? No! Obviously it would be naive to think that way. BUT WE CAN help start a domino effect. Its a community effort, and its enough just to help other people lose their apathy and be active. Good message!

The wonderful thing about our country is the ability to change things the way we see fit. It's a democracy we live in, not a dictatorship as some people would like us to tell us it is.

Remember, we are only slaves to a government if we choose not to act.

Love this, Baratunde! You truly understand the importance of offline work, and have put your money where you mouth is time after time. Thanks for the video. It will empower a lot of people.

Good video. As a blogger and activist, I do my part in urging those on the sidelines that they are needed as well.
