A lot of time and attention goes into politics when we are inundated with campaign ads and yard signs. What happens after Election Day often gets lost as we return to life as usual. Unfortunately, Election Day is more truthfully perhaps the least important day in the life of politics. It's what happens once people are in office that affects us as a society. Commit yourself to staying involved beyond the ballot box!

2. Study and stay updated on the issues.

8. Lead a prayer vigil or service for an issue that is close to your heart.
9. Register others to vote.
