Skittle-colored leaves are clogging the sewers, cider mill garbage cans are ripe with bees, I've re-upped my Xanax in anticipation of dinner with the family.
That's right: it's the time of year we reflect on what we're thankful for.
We want to hear from you, but here are a few political things we've been thankful for in recent days:
- Living in this democratic system.
- Having the ability to contact and express our views to our representatives.
- The right to vote.*
- The freedom to demonstrate in the streets and express any opinion imaginable.
- The First Amendment preserving the rights of free speech, religion, and freedom of the press.
- Many, many other freedoms afforded by our Constitution.
We're looking forward to reading your thoughts in the comments section below, and of course you can send them to your Sens. and Reps. by hitting Contact Reps above.
We'll be featuring some of the less-sarcastic comments in our special Thanksgiving Daily Countable.
Thanks for those of you who read past the headline,
—Josh Herman
