A friend forwarded a made-up obituary of the U.S. (see below). I forwarded it to some friends, with this note:

I'd read the election statistics before, but I don't recall the addition of the illegals numbers, and what that portends.
The problem with the apathy is that it is so widespread. The Tea Parties and the interest in meetings with Congresscritters were heartwarming, but most congresscritters poohpoohed them. The question is whether or not the people who attended these Parties, etc., will actually get to the polls in the Primaries and the General Election, and whether enough of them attend the party primary meetings election night.
I figure you'll vote, but will you go to the primary precinct convention election night? And vote intelligently that night? And get others to go, too? Don't you agree that, writ large, that's what it's going to take?
