The problem is, most of us have jobs and families. We’re really, really busy with just everyday stuff.

Absolutely. Its this day to day 'busy ness' and ignoring events thinking 'someone else will take care of it' yadda yadda yadda is why we're in this mess.

Look it, folks living in 1776 had day to day lives also. They were busy, just trying to live and feed their families. When the call went out on in April of 1775 'we're meeting at Concord!' they weren't sitting around twiddling their thumbs. They dropped the plow (literally) picked up their muskets and went to Concord! Had most everyone said 'I'm too busy for this, let someone else take care of it' we'd still be under british rule. And make no mistake, an estimated 3rd of the population at that time still considered themselves too busy and weren't any help at all. If just a third of us decide we've had enough and start to fight, we'll make a difference.

The time has come where we've got to do this, jobs or not, being busy or not, or our children will live under tyranny. And you'll be sitting around a campfire trying to keep warm at night telling your grandchildren stories about what it used to be like when we were free.

If the Left takes over, campfires and storytelling to grandchildren will be outlawed. You won’t even see your grandchildren, as they will be in the school collective sunrise to sunset and beyond.

But, good points.

We have to take a stand now.

I live in a really, really small town, less than 1000 people. More farm animals than people here. Everybody pretty much knows everybody else, so cheating at the polls would be pretty hard.

But there’s a big city just a few towns a way, a college town where the students vote in their hometowns by absentee ballot, then vote in their college town. Some of them have been heard boasting about voting in more than one precinct. Now, that is hearsay, but I still wouldn’t put it past them.

I wonder if I could volunteer as a poll watcher up there?
