[Vision2020] Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate

[Tom Hansen]

Yes, Mr. Rumelhart . . .

Being a registered Republican I cannot sufficiently encourage my Republican brethren to cast their votes for Gary Johnson.

I strong support the ABR (Anybody But Romney) agenda.

Join me, my brothers and sisters, in voting against the Romney/Ryan ticket.  Your children will thank you.

Seeya round town, Moscow.
