Get Off My Back


October 31, 2004

As Election Day quickly approaches, I’m starting to get some heat about my decision to vote for Michael Peroutka. Those who believe in the Boogie Man are clamoring to get me to change my mind and just vote for Bush. “You have to or Kerry will win, and that would be the end of the [...]
