Hold Politicians to Ideals of Equality and Justice for All (as the foundation for all their votes)

Many political initiatives designed to strip segments of society of their rights and/or to make them less equal have emerged in th US Congress and State legislatures in recent years as well as other countries.  Some of the US ones came from ALEC.  Targets include the poor, students, minorities and the elderly (changes to voting rights, sequestration, shutting down government), women (equal pay, discrimination protections, access to preventative care, contraception and abortion), LGBTQ (spousal benefits, adoption, marriage, protection from job discrimination) and undocumented immigrants (AZ and AL, etc.).  Some have been proven unconstitutional in the US by the reportedly most conservative SCOTUS in history; others are still working their way through the courts at taxpayer expense.

Either our own rights have been targeted or can be next if we remain silent.  Commit to telling your country's state and federal representatives and senators, etc. that you disagree with these paths at odds with what the founding fathers envisioned--as frequently as needed until they listen and hear.  For those who will not hear, seek to have them replaced next election by someone who will.
