Buying Quote by Carla Howell
“I say a vote for the Democrats or Republicans is the ONLY wasted vote… By buying into the rhetoric that there are only two parties worth voting for...you increase their power. And with it, you promote the watered-down freedoms and endless government growth that these two parties consisently vote for.”
