13. I really think the number one issue for these people is the "browning of America" and the fact

that democrats under Obama are giving tons of money away to these non deserving lazy unemployed
people. I think its important to give them the facts about welfare, food stamps,etc and how in reality
how little assistance it is. And how small the federal entitlement program is in relation to the overall
budget. What a horrible way to live ones life!

Then I explain how easily our lives can change on a dime. An Accident, loss of a job, Medical
Bill could drive me into poverty quickly. That I want a govt. to back me up if I need help.

Yes, I think that every registered republican in the U.S. have a real problem with the
minorities who share this country with us.

One at a time, is what I say!
