Does your vote matter? In the 2000 election “The Florida vote was ultimately settled in Bush's favor by a margin of 537 votes out of 5,825,043 cast,” states left-leaning Wikipedia. Florida has 67 counties. So, 8.01492537313 votes per county (i.e.: 8 votes per county) made the difference. Yes, your vote can make the difference. The votes of your FAF-Friends-Associates-Family matters too. Tell your friends to VOTE!

Some are worried about ‘election cheating.’ It is understandable. But the answer to that is to “SWAMP the VOTE.”

We have looked at key issues on a range of topics and evidence in this series. As a political independent, my wife and I voted early for the Trump-Vance ticket and Republicans. It is obvious that Democrats have held the White House for last 3½ years. Depending on the survey, 64 to 79 percent of the population thinks the country is on the wrong track. Democrats controlled both the House and Senate for the first two years that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (D) have been in office.

The early voting totals are favoring Republicans. The polling is favoring Republicans. More Blacks, More Hispanics, more Women are coming out in favor of Trump-Vance and Republicans. That only makes sense. It doesn't make sense to vote for those who have led the U.S. into high inflation, into more wars, into higher crime, into a broken border. To expect the arsonists to put out the fire defies reason.

Perhaps the most misunderstood topic is that of tariffs. Trump has said he would like to replace the personal federal income tax with tariffs. Think about what that could mean for you and your family. István Dobozi has made the argument for opposing the Trump change on tariffs. See that in the articles posted below. But in brief, Trump tariffs could bring back higher paying factory and energy jobs to the U.S.

Your Vote DOES Matter. Billionaires are Spending Big Bucks to Get People Like YOU, Your Friends, Associates and Family (FAF) to VOTE. Please. No Excuses. Vote for positive change. I'm not paid by any campaign. No one asked me to do this series, other than "me, myself, and I." I care this much about our mutual future. Vote for positive change. If you haven't already voted, VOTE. Get your Friends, Associates, and Family (FAF) to VOTE. For those who need more information, see the linked reports that follow.
