That means it's time to brave the long lines and the cold and #GoVote. Don't forget the first rule of voting - never vote alone - bring your friends and family with you and get them to join you as a clean water voter. This election matters like no other. We're either going to re-elect the most consequential environmental President in modern history (he hasn't been too shabby on other issues either) or we're
