C'Mon Everybody... I've Been Informed Here That DU Polls Don't Count If We Don't Get Enough Votes... [View all]

Apparently if you get over a hundred or two votes in any direction, that does not count because it under represents the will of DU.

So call your family, call your friends, call your neighbors, PM everybody here... get 'em on the record.

Let's see where you stand!

BTW - As a country, we are lucky to get HALF of eligible voters to come out and vote during a Presidential Election... even less during a Mid-Term Election... our current problem.

And as the saying goes... "If you don't vote, you don't get to complain."
