Already voted? Yay! Now you can help others on Nov. 4!

Especially if you live in or near an area where lines will be long next Tuesday, please consider lending your support to voters that day.

1. Cover up your Obama shirt, leave your pins and signs in the glovebox, and check with local election officials on what rules are in your area, and then...

2. Fill up a couple bags with umbrellas if it's raining, blankets if it's cold, water bottles, granola bars, folding chairs, crayons for the kids, playing cards, and nonpartisan reading materials, and head down to a polling location near you.

3. Offer what you brought to anyone who needs it. No litmus tests here -- anyone who spends hours waiting in line for the opportunity to vote deserves compassion and warmth, no matter whom they voted for. You don't want to be seen as trying to buy votes, and besides, it's the right thing to do.

November 4th doesn't end our work for change, it's just the beginning.
