I bought a copy of the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence to reread because I won't be duped by any candidate. I won't be swept by easily discredited arguments, fear mongering, or doublespeak. I felt obligated to stop one of these candidates. I highly suggest any of you that are US Citizens own and read a copy. As Book people, I hope you can appreciate the beauty of a living document and the passion of rebellion against real tyranny.

Pete BTW, these were our costumes. 8y
