South. The problem is that our voices often get drowned out and in the past not enough of us came out to vote. However, my people down in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas are FIRED UP!!! They are so ready to vote. Much of my family lives in Georgia and they are so excited about Jimmy Carter's grandson and Sam Nun's daughter. I think they are really fired up about that. Many of my folks in North Carolina are pissed off about the voter suppression laws there. And Wendy Davis is popular in Texas despite reports to the contrary. The Corporate Media wants us to be demoralized by constantly telling us that we're destined to lose the House and Senate because we won't come out and vote. I'm beginning to question this so-called foregone conclusion. We must act as if this is the case and vote, even though I don't believe it.
