Oct 5

the way things are shaping up around this country today - we have to be aware that the Repugs will do anything to rig, cheat and steal upcoming elections.

We have to put the fear in them (the Repugs) - that with a moratorium on SPORTS - no sporting activity of any kind -will incite millions of voters (that really don't pay attention to politics and use sports as a diversion) to finally realize that their very lives are being harmed by whats going on in Washington D.C.

They are going to get involved. They will take heed - because a great part of their very existence will be missing.

When millions of Americans become aware of the impact on their lives they will come out and vote.

It will make it very difficult for them to steal the elections. They will be outnumbered and as such out voted. Or as I like to say - Voted Out!!!
