...i have to say i was in shock, so much so i was speechless! he told me there were several reasons, mainly he's fed up with the birther issue, and that Rmoney destroyed businesses and profited from peoples misery, not to mention the tax returns...his words..."i can't vote for a candidate that won't make his taxes public"....this is the same brother, with whom after nearly getting into a fistfight with 10 years ago over the bush admin, swore off talking politics between us again ever.....if he can have a change of heart, anyone can....keep pushing our message folks...
