Wed Nov 19, 2014, 09:45 PM

Nov 2014

Working families are given ONE DAY to vote...
a mid-week workday
Can you afford to miss work,
or not be home to care for your family?
MOST of US cannot!

Football is on SUNDAY...
A day many if not most have off from work.
Make Tuesday the day to go to church and
tell me what that turnout looks like.

Put elections on weekends!
The lets see what the turnout looks like.
