As far as voting for progressive democrats this is very dangerous for our society to do since many do not repect our laws and as far as voting for democrats they have a very long history of beening fiscally irrespondsible so in developing the water front we can have a vibrant area without Fred Culverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380924599938085114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844475919675784308.post-819313067375849422019-10-29T12:45:07.541-04:002019-10-29T12:45:07.541-04:00I am surprised anyone would publicly advocate for ...I am surprised anyone would publicly advocate for suppressing voting.
