We Honor Our Vets & Thank Them For Fighting For Our Freedoms - Yet The Repubs.....

deny our most cherished right - the right of every American to vote.

Just look at all the voter suppression that the Republican Party initiated and carried out in this country during the most recent elections last week.

I am not a vet - but if I was - I would be very angry that I risked my life and limb - only to find out that the very thing I fought for was being denied my fellow Americans.

Today we should all stop and take time from whatever we are doing to honor the veterans that went to fight for that privilege and all those future veterans that are currently serving our country to fight for that same right.

We should remind anyone that we encounter today - what went on in last weeks elections - and how the Republican Party is behind all the efforts to organize and initiate 'Voter Suppression' in any shape or form to rig the system for themselves. We should keep on educating the American electorate as to what the Republicans are trying to do to prevent this same voter suppression from happening 2016.

All Americans should be able to carry out the duty to vote. We should all be able to elect the people that represent us - you know those guys and gals in Congress that have a say in sending our children into wars.

The Republican Party should be embarrassed by their treasonous actions. The Republicans talk the talk of patriotism - yet every chance they get they try to steal the very core of which this government of the people, by the people and for the people was formed to accomplish.
