Withholding your vote will not change our current options

You certainly have the right to not vote, but withholding YOUR vote doesn’t change OUR candidates. It just tells them and your local delegates that you can’t be bothered to vote.

Vote Your Pants On

Vote your pants on! Yep. Put on your pants. I know it’s a pandemic, but let’s put on our pants and vote.

River was an old dog. I’ve not been writing as much, because I have been taking care of her. On Tuesday, she left us. This is the kind of thing you never get over. You just learn to live with it. Thanks in advance for all of the well wishes and kind thoughts. There are […]
