44. I think a Romney admin will bring back the draft and start several wars

Those wealthy investors make the best profits off wars, and you're in the prime age/demographic to be their cannon fodder.

Can America really afford to hand over more trillions of Americans current tax revenue to war profiteers?

The President has already made great progress computerizing the Gov with great efficiency results and he is NOT a war monger. Americans are in desperate need of at least, 4 more years of the Obama upgrade.

Our Parents and Grandparents deserve an un-selfish Admin. to upgrade and maintain their future. To have a President focus on Americans for once is priceless!
