Myers was just a regular person who was enraged and energized by what happened. She (along with We Do Not Concede) organized "Get Up on the Bus," which brought 52 people who represented a cross section of Columbus to speak in Washington DC. Beyond telling their individual stories, they spoke to the press, lobbied and buttonholed Congressional aides. Ohioans enlisted Senator Boxer of California to stand up for them and for all disenfranchised voters by contesting the validity of the election. This action has only happened once before since 1877 and can be viewed as a major accomplishment. Cheated! not only reminds us of what happened last time around but gives us some concrete ways to work towards change. As Myers asserts, "the right to vote is the frontline for everything." I couldn't agree more.
