I voted no it wasn't because:
a) I very, very rarely vote to hide any speech
and
b) I thought she actually did say this.

SO, if it was taken out of context, alerter should defend that position or else I am forced to continue believing Cynthia actually did say this.
On a related note, I am for more cannabis dispensaries but I still don't think CN is a great candidate.
I am excited to be able to vote for Gillum in the FL Governor's race.
