    [Samuel L Jackson]
    In the silvery moon light that bathes every town
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    The people lie dreaming, so safe and so sound
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    They're warm in their beds snuggled up in the sheets
  • 0:12 - 0:16
    But 4 years before they were out in the streets
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    Now its as if they don’t know what's at stake,
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    All except one girl, wide-eyed and awake
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    Little Suzie is too worried to sleep
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    She can't figure out why her family is so passive
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    It's like they don’t know that Romney and his veep
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    Will remake the country in ways that are drastic
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    She read his platform and it scared her to death
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    She's got to do something while there is still time left
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    Suzie:
    I was little the last time but I still remember
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    My whole family was all working together
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    We canvassed and phone banked with passion and pluck
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    It matters more this time but their eyes are shut
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    Mom, dad, the election is coming up soon
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    [Father]
    We're tired right now hun, go back to your room.
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    [Samuel L Jackson]
    I'm sorry my friend, there is no time to snore
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    An out-of-touch millionaire has just declared war
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    On schools, the environment, unions, fair pay
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    We’re all on our own if Romney has his way.
  • 1:11 - 1:15
    And he's against safety nets, if you fall, tough luck.
  • 1:15 - 1:20
    So I strongly suggest that you wake the fuck up.
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    [Ominous music]
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    [Suzie]
    In '08, my brother was on the front-lines
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    But now he says he just cannot find the time.
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    This election is about our whole future, its like you don’t even care, man!
  • 1:31 - 1:32
    [Brother]
    What?
  • 1:32 - 1:36
    [Suzie]
    You believe in civil rights, well Mitt Romney is no fan
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    He's ok with border (?) suppression, wants gay marriage banned
  • 1:39 - 1:44
    He stood against the DREAM Act and he isn't worried about the poor
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    If we don’t do something right now, this is who we're asking for.
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    [Brother]
    I hate to break it to you, Sis, but all politicians are the same.
  • 1:51 - 1:56
    [Samuel L Jackson]
    They're ALL the same? Big brother please,
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    Obama sent SEALS to Bin Laden's place
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    Romney sent jobs overseas
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    And how about the student loan overhaul?
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    It's going to save you thousands of bucks
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    Mitt will cut that shit in a second
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    White dude, wake the fuck up.
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    [Tinkling music]
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    [Sister]
    Oh my God! It's Facebook official!
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    Oh hey! What are you doing?
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    [Samuel L. Jackson]
    Before the last election, you girls held bake sales for Obama
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    Suzie:
    With Mitt in office, get ready for drama
  • 2:26 - 2:31
    A vote for Romney is a vote to let planned parenthood get cut
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    [Samuel L. Jackson]
    Listen to your little sister, wake the fuck up.
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    [Suzie]
    I know you're Facebooking, but wow!
  • 2:36 - 2:42
    [Samuel L. Jackson]
    Stop bullshitting: get out there and sell some cases of cookies, now!
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    [Wind blast]
  • 2:44 - 2:51
    [giggles and love-making sounds]
  • 2:51 - 2:52
    [Knocks on the door]
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    [Suzie]
    Grandma, Grandpa, can we talk?
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    [Grandma]
    Not now sweetie, can't it wait?
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    [Samuel L. Jackson]
    Hell no, it can't wait! Your lives will be affected
  • 3:00 - 3:04
    Romney and Ryan will gut Medicare if they're elected.
  • 3:04 - 3:08
    Ask the fact checkers, those two are fact duckers
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    [Grandma: What do you want us to do?
  • 3:09 - 3:10
    [Samuel L. Jackson]
    Say: hell no, mother-fuckers!
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    [Tinkling music]
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    We've come along way, but there is still more to do.
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    And we need you all back in the fight till its through.
  • 3:19 - 3:23
    Of course, you're so busy and finding times rough
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    But you can sleep till you're dead, but right now…
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    Suzie: WAKE THE FUCK UP!!
