I was out of the country but listened to some of the speeches on Youtube. There's no question that we have a content with normal people vs selfish monsters. I am absolutely glad that we are putting forward people who have a practical approach to governance and who understand what it means to be a working person.

I was looking back at how much we try to warn poets of the selfish monsters, to no avail. Now they'll find out the hard way. Ty for your support!

Doug is proud of his heritage being Jewish and so they held up signs "Doug for first Mensch" Doug for first Gentleman! "A lot has changed in our lives since the early '90s, but my team name is still Nirvana -- yes, after the band."--Doug
