Civic Duty Ponderer Pillows

'Well, for me I guess it all started when I registered to vote...'

"This is the most important election of our lifetime."

"I'll cross any ocean to fight for our country! I'll travel to the gates of hell to defend our rights!"

'I've been charged with evading jury duty.'

"Nooooo!"

'Yep, I've voted in every election since 1948!' 'Don't be so hard on yourself!'

Vote Signal

With Jury Duty for All

"Does the co-op board have any idea when the elevators will be replaced?"

Hunter haunted by Bunnies.

"Civic responsibility, ethics, and a dedication to the people we serve; they're killing our business."

"...Apparently we're responsible for snow removal on that stretch of highway we adopted."

On Jury Service...

'Well, it's an idea whose time has come.'

"All you gotta do is vote for the one you hate the least!"

CONGRESS "Voter apathy is no big deal - What scares me is TAXPAYER apathy."

'Tell me why I should excuse you from serving on jury duty. Be careful what you say. I have been trained to read between the lies.'

The First Vote

Exercise is the key to strength.

Can you feel the excitement building? The election is more than a month off. Nonsense!! It's not more than a month off? Yes, technically, in the sense that time is ordinarily measured. But it's so close I can taste it. You can taste the general election? Like chocolate mousse! The season of the political junkie is upon us.

I'm hearing voices. What are they saying? They're telling me to do something to say something. What? Vote! America please vote! What's happening? Shouldn't disembodied voices be more insidious? Holy Uncle Mort.

"I had hoped to vote in US elections."

'I didn't hire a lawyer, but I found a neuroscientist who can explain why it wasn't my fault.'

"Here's our verdict. Can we go now?"

'If the election was held today, would you be surprised?'

"Well then, can we count on your vote if you get a job that pays well enough to get your car repaired so you can drive to your polling station?"

"We must assure the public that our fiscal review will not result in increased property taxes."

Elections: Carrying a Cross

"Hold it! These bums aren't my parents!!"

Color cartoon of Santa Claus holding an umbrella that reads VOTE.

"Did I just give, or did I give wisely? That is the question."

Conscience. An angel and the devil standing on a person's shoulders. With the devil playing dirty, as you'd expect.

'It is so nice to find somebody civil minded and working tirelessly to help others...'

Back from MLK Day so soon? There were tons of people. We finished painting the rec center early. 3 hours makes you a good person? At least I went! Hey! I sacrificed for Dr. King's memory. I refrained from violent video games. Congrats. An MLK Day of internet service.

'You can't win -- If you didn't vote, you can't complain, and if you did vote, you sanctioned all this!'
