Jul 2012

My hometown is Roanoke Virginia, but I'm a New Englander now. Last night before bed I made the mistake of logging onto facebook and I saw where some people I grew up with and went to school with were posting all kinds of crap about why in the world would anyone go see Obama, and how they wouldn't vote for him if they were paid to...just stupid, negative, blind and small minded comments. And knowing these people, some of them well, although I no longer associate with them, I knew the reason why they would never consider voting for Obama. It made me sick. So thank you again for posting all these wonderful pictures and restoring some of the faith I had lost over the years in my hometown and my home state!
