Why Vote?
I voted for a Congress that cannot budget or won’t agree in vital decisions.
I voted for a president to manage my country and solve our internal problems--but he has appointed himself to spend billions on external cultural conflicts, which are not a threat to us.
I voted for Proposition 187 to control our borders and stop paying millions to people who fly the Mexican flag while demanding costly benefits, and a federal judge decides my vote does not count.
I voted to show respect for the flag, which represents the values for which many have suffered and died--only to have those I voted for approve its burning.
So, why should I vote, ever!
