“Are you better off now than you were four years ago?<\/em>”
\n– Ronald Reagan, 1980<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

That was a powerful question. One that put the Governor of California in the White House for eight years…<\/p>\n

I have asked myself that same question every year since then.<\/p>\n

This year, the answer is a loud, primal screaming “HELL NO”.<\/p>\n

Today, the people will have the power to send hundreds of lying, corrupt, inept, and lazy politicians straight to the employment line. Crushing their dreams of further aspirations up the political ladder.<\/p>\n

They’ve lied to you. They’ve betrayed you. They’ve sold you out for their own interests.<\/p>\n

They will send your sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren to die to support their fatcat lifestyle.<\/p>\n

They’re not a part of the solution… they’re part of the problem.<\/p>\n

Will you be better off when their next term ends than you are right now?<\/p>\n

You decide tomorrow.
\nVote… while you still have the privilege.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
