What's your issue???

If you had to choose just one issue affecting the community/world around you that you would stand behind and support fully and focus 100% of your energy on what would it be?

I'm not talking some time on this and some time on that. I mean ALL, every ounce of your community service essence is devoted to this one issue.

What issue would you embrace?

Registering folks to vote. I carry forms around with me everywhere. Anytime I go to a program given by a Black Organization I take them in with me. If I don't see any forms around I wait til question and answer and let them know that I have the forms with me.
