Voting Beats Lip Service

The Sacramento River/Shasta Lake toxic spill reminds me of other environmental spills and the political mess we find ourselves in today. I’m tired of the lip service from both sides.
Come on people, and get your heads out of the sand--go to the voters’ booths! Take a little time to become aware of what’s going on. The spills won’t go away until the demand stops. Politicians won’t go away until the vote is in. Get up and exercise your power as a consumer, voter and caretaker of the Earth before it all goes away.
