    Today was Superwalk Day in Brevard County, FL when volunteers went door to door with literature, encouraging voters to support a local referendum on Tue 08 Nov that would raise funds to clean up our polluted and dying Indian River Lagoon.  Blue t-shirts were seen all over town, and at various events "washed out" and postponed by last weekend's Hurricane Matthew.

    This is perfect timing!  With important local races and legislation coming up in November, this challenge will be a great motivator to "keep up the good fight".
