in the future. Every vote counts, we need to get all possible voters registered and GOTV, get Democrats in office and then we may be able to get this nation back to economic growth, we know how to get jobs going and we know how to raise the minimum wage. Thanks to the Cochran voters of Mississippi there should not be an increase in the crazy TP bunch in Congress.
