Democracy is not majority rule, it's rule by the majority of those who show up. And showing up requires more than voting, it requires working on campaigns, registering family members, shooters and hunters to vote, contributing money to campaigns, and making sure everyone belongs to the NRA. If we don't all do this we can be sure our rights will continue to be chipped away, and Senator Leahy representing a state like Vermont that not too long ago loved its freedom is a good example of how democracy can be lost.
