I was handing out protest flyers at the Hillary event and the obama and have never seen such a sad group. Following a leader with 
such false pretense and not doing thier homework. the Democrat followers are fallowing on such shaky ground their phony leaders.
Hillary is a woman and Obama is a African American and which itself is not a bad thing but for a lot of thier followers that is why 
folks are following them.   We at the Green-Rainbow have so much more to offer and on Saterday Is OUR DAY! Global warming is real! A million Iraqs dead is real. Corruption in Goverment is real! The clock is ticking it is almost Midnight do we have time? No it is our time now!The Dems and the Republicans had theres and they
Fudged it up now is our chance of saving the planet! let us go out on saterday and take back Democracy let us save Mother Earth!out on October 27.> > Sorry Gary, that this email was not answered.
