111. I know you are right

My brother spent 18 years doing set construction but a lot of that work left for Canada several years ago. I'm just really focusing on the past few years because so many that worked for the Obama campaign and have always voted democratic and recently lost work really feel burned. I know they won't vote republican but worry they will just not vote at all instead. That's got to be part of why the polls indicate that voters are disillusioned.

Hope all is going well for you!
