He passed away July 2001 - He would have been 100 years old last week, if he had lived...

If you don't vote, then you'll miss out what you voted for.

For that, my entire family are voting this year for Obama.

1. My deceased father often said...
"If you don't vote, don't bitch."

2. My grandfather died last year. He told me not to0 long before he died that

he'd been waiting for an Obama to come along for a very long time.

Jimmy Carter was his favorite president. Some poor farmers are just like that. Good Democrats that remember responsive government and responsible citizenship.

Man I miss that guy.

3. My grandpa
told me that if I ever voted republican for president, my arm would fall off. And grandpa never lied to me (may he and all those who are gone but we're fondly remembering on this thread rest in peace).
