Two things:

1) Help America get through the next four years. Give to your local Planned Parenthood. Give to the League of Conservation Voters. Volunteer.

2) Stand up for your Democratic beliefs. We're more than just Bush-haters. We believe in community, in reaching out to help our fellow citizens--no matter what their party. We believe in opportunity, in giving everyone an equal chance to fulfill their own American dream. We believe in freedom, for every kind of person.

We understand that our beliefs will require some sacrifice. Sometimes people who were born with more must give to help people who were born with less. Sometimes our belief in freedom will force us to face things that make us uncomfortable--including the right of evangelical Christians to vote for George Bush.

We did not choose these stances because we think they will sway the largest number of voters. It's not a matter of choice. We are Democrats because we believe these principles form the moral foundation of our country, and if we turn from this belief then we are lost.
