Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
As long as I count the votes what are you going to do about it?
Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote.

Can anyone imagine M anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Gandhi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?
