Take Action Monday

I decided to make "Take Action Friday" "Take Action Monday," because Mondays kind of blow, and it helps to do something good on a day so suckish. Plus, I was gone from my computer for several days, so I have a lot of petitions for you all to sign and e-mails to send to your legislators.
