If I have said it once,…

I will say it again. The work does not stop at the ballot box!

Look, to those that do not do polls or get involve, not doing so is the reason that when you open the paper you see stupid things. Like watering down of gun control resolutions, relaxing of pollution laws, etc. etc. etc!

I have seen many a poll now that concerns these things. And guess who are the ones doing these polls? The ones that are for these things, that’s who!

We just did one about gun control, and just after an hour in, we heard people say, “Oh yes, my friend told me about this” or “I read about this on FB!”

Those that would support this kind of thing were not the ones doing the poll. So guess what side got heard?

Doing these things is part of using your First Amendment! This is one way, the biggest way, to get those that are in politics to know what we all think! Do you really want the other side to be the only ones getting a say?

And don’t just hang up if you think it is a Republican poll. You can still give then a piece of your mind through these things!

We need to use all the weapons out there. Doing polls and getting involved in your community is one of our biggest weapons we got to make sure that common sense is the voice that is heard.
