If you are passionate about women’s rights and access to birth control, the most important thing you can do is vote. If you’re concerned about our country’s economic future, vote! It’s the easiest thing you can do to create change in the U.S.

By now you’ve probably heard/laughed at/joked about Clint Eastwood’s speech to an empty chair on Thursday at the Republican National Convention (if you haven't, it's posted below!). Trust me, I was right there with you. After all, he’s just an old, rambling man, right?
