In the wake of a bad news survey of a small sampling of registered Washington voters, Crosscut reported that 59 percent plan to vote for gun control Initiative 1639, bringing an immediate surge of activism among opponents of the measure.
Social media, especially Facebook pages involved in the battle to defeat the 30-page initiative, shows an intensified vigor among rights activists. They are ringing doorbells, putting up yard signs and even larger roadside posters, distributing literature and making phone-banking to reach voters. |

This seems to be a perennial problem with rights activists.
It's always too little, too late.
If it takes hyperbole to get them off their butts at the last minute, then they aren't fulfilling their civic obligation to pay attention and move forcefully to protect their own rights, and defeating the momentum of the rights-deniers becomes downright impossible. |
