Why volunteer?

"I see people nod and smile as they read our early in-person voting information.  They look up say “thank you!” and often take more for others.  Thanks to all of us  (especially Linea, Terri and Dorothy) for making a wealth of excellent information and making it available !  \O/"

[Ed. comment - These same Congressmen were sponsors of a bill that would have made life more difficult for people with disabilities.]
