Brothers and sisters, let’s play our role to the best of the abilities that God has given us, and if we do that it will work out just like it is supposed to.

OUR RECOMMENDED CHOICES FOR THIS ELECTION

     No matter how ugly things look and how drastic news reports fill the media, the outcome has yet to be known by us.

I don’t know about you but I’ll be damned if I go down without making my voice heard through my ballot. That does not mean I am voting all democratic. What it does mean is that I am voting for those who believe in making sure that ALL people have access that fit their circumstances to getting their human rights met by any means necessary. If you are not a part of this movement and all you think that you can do is complain, b*tch, and moan then please, “STFU AND VOTE!!!”
