It’s Tuesday and it’s Vote Day, so this is your “get your butt outta that barcalounger and go vote” email.
Why? Cuz if you don’t, you’re gonna end up with a Caucus Race.
“What is a Caucus-race?” said Alice; not that she wanted much to know. “Why,” said the Dodo, “the best way to explain it is to do it.”
First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, (“the exact shape doesn’t matter,” it said,) and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no “One, two, three, and away,” but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over.
When they had been running half an hour or so, the Dodo suddenly called out “The race is over!” and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, “But who has won?”
I feel like we’ve been living in a Caucus Race for a while now. And while it might be good for drying off after you’ve fallen into a Wonderland pool of tears, it’s making my head hurt. Even more than those math problems about a train leaving Philadelphia at 4pm and another leaving Boston going 60 mph… and they give me a migraine.
HI << INSERT NAME HERE>>
Don’t like reading? We got ‘cha covered. Just sit back, relax and let Victoria read our email to you.
The spirit of Alice in Wonderland is the belief that “different” is beautiful, and that diversity and inclusion are normal. Everyone, no matter their race, culture, age, sexual orientation or gender identity, is accepted for who and what they are, and they have a place in Wonderland.
Maybe taking a little Wonderland into the voting booth with you ain’t such a bad idea.
That’s it. I’m not gonna get all mushy.
See ya ~ Kevin
p.s. Both the website and the socials have asked me to tell you (and I quote) “get your butt outta that barcalounger and go vote”.
