“Because there’s so much to enjoy on the Watershed Voice website, I’ve found myself returning to the site often.

They have a choice, naturally, to either resign their posts or show up and fight, but the nature of the business makes it abundantly clear most will choose to fight. Choose to die. Choose to sacrifice their hopes and dreams and hobbies, their retirements and vacations and their children’s affection for the public good.
