44. As long as we VOTE

Sep 2012

then I do not think we have anything to worry about. Yes they will try every dirty trick in the book and they will be stealing votes but if we all get out and vote, take other people to the polls that have trouble getting out or don't have a ride then they can't possibly steal every vote. We out number them, I have no doubt about it as long as we get off our asses and VOTE!
