Two proposals on the ballot may increase turnout for us. One is to preserve a woman's right to choose and the other is to make voting easier.

is bat shit crazy. She is clueless with it comes to politics. Politics 101 is to never let your opponent define you. For the last couple of months ads have been running using her own words to show her views on abortion. Like the DC repubs, voters know they have overreached.
