We Can't Play Possum Poster

The forces of intolerance and ignorance are on the attack. They've stunted medical research. They've censored scientific reports. They've put Jesus in the classroom and rubbed evolution out. They've sifted through your phone records. They know what you're reading. Chances are, they're watching you in some way right now. They've placed themselves above the law. They've placed themselves above investigation. They say the U.S. Constitution is just a scrap of paper. They say your freedom is negotiable. What does a person do in the face this assault? It's tempting to roll over, play dead, and hope the threat will just go away. It's hard not to play possum. Even if we put our all into the defence of liberty, the forces of intolerance and ignorance might still prevail. But they will certainly prevail if we do nothing but hide our faces and pretend not to exist. As Mohandas Gandhi put it long ago, "Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it." Be the embodiment of hope. Take a public stand. Just don't play possum.
