Voting Rights
So, I've had my absentee ballot here for awhile now... just kind of sitting on the table, collecting dust. But time is running out if I want to mail it in time. So I figured I'll check out the candidates, and in my one national race, well, let's just say one guy didn't fare too well.

The guy is a REPRESENTATIVE, he represents our distrcit to the United States. If he looks bad, we look bad, and that's the bottom line.I know I only have a few readers in the 10th district, but cmon guys, let's get this bozo out of Congress.
