Ballot Quote by Joseph Befumo
““laws are enacted aimed squarely at removing this threat to Republicrat hegemony by making it virtually impossible for any third party to get on the ballot. If you like the choices you’re offered every November, then by all means, continue to support your favorite Republicrat. If, however, this farce seems increasingly like the ‘choice’ of whether to step into a steaming heap of pig dung or a stinking pile of dog feces, then read on.””
