The Day

Hustle, Hurry! The Day has begun.

Stop!

Look, you forgot to shave!

Rush, even faster, you are getting behind.

Water, soap, towel...

Wet, was, dry...

Wake Up!

Tic, Toc, tic, toc.

The clock chimes half past the hour.

Out the door to a cold car, but no time to waste.

One block, two blocks, and then stop, the light is RED.

Hurry, turn Green.

Park? Where?

Finally a parking spot...

Clock in with a few minutes to spare.

Work, work, and more work...

Lunch...Yeah.

Work, work, and more work.

Tic, Toc, tic, toc.

The clock chimes half past the hour.

Out the door to a cold car, but no time to waste.

One block, two blocks, and then stop, the light is RED.

Hurry, turn Green.

Park...Finally Home.

  “The SAVE Act Isn’t About Security. It’s About Blocking Millions From Voting.” “The SAVE Act Would Break America’s Voting System—By Design” The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act has been reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, and its consequences would be sweeping. The bill requires every American to prove their citizenship in person using original documents. This proof consists primarily of a passport or birth certificate which must be shown before registering to vote. It is also necessary before updating their voter registration. That sound simple, but the reality is stark: More than 140 million U.S. citizens do not have a passport.
