Feb 2014

We need people with extra chairs. We need people willing to stand in line and be place-holders. We need people to come along to the lines of voters with bottled water and energy bars and umbrellas for shade if the sun's beating down on them all day and they have to stand for hours. We need people to go run errands, and take little old ladies and gents to the bathroom if they've had to wait for hours. We need people to run to the grocery store, or send out for a stack of pizzas so people stuck in line waiting to vote have something to snack on. Or donuts and coffee in the morning. We need people to help and assist and drive and PRESSURE, alright!!! PRESSURE employers to be extremely lenient on Election Day. It's the only patriotic thing to do.
