Okay, for those of you who are Republican, I would like to respectfully suggest that you listen to this. If you still believe and want to vote Republican, have at it. For me it was a historical wake up call that justifies my voting trends. I have been a Republican in the very distant past and I am not anymore.....here are many of the reasons.

Had to repost this due to a technical difficulty. I found this on my FB this morning from one of my Republican friends who worked with me on the United Against Hate Campaign of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights several years past. Uh, don't think he is voting Republican this year.......

It is your,"very distant past" that causes concern. Angst, even.

Wow. Now THAT'S powerful! (and I am oh so stealing it and sending ot to everybody I know!)

Thank you.

P.S. If your DINO is going to lose anyways, vote GREEN Party and show them that "Change" shouldn't mean moving to the right!!

I remember all the things they talked about. What's more I'm damned angry. I wouldn't let the tea party care for a dog I liked. So to hell with letting them run the country.

Excellent video, Sheila

I'm so tired of getting the pro-Republican crap (even when I tell family and friends to stop). Thanks for giving me something to send to them. And what great timing too!
