DONT FALL FOR IT.

As long as you do your part

and do a little bit of research,
you wont fall for their traps.
Remember to find credible
sources, and take your time
making these decisions. The
decision you make the ballot
can very easily be the most
important decision you make
in your life. Because what you
decide their, decides who
leads your community, state,
or country. And whatever that
person chooses can have
serious implications on you,

and vote smart.

If you dont do politics, politics will do you.
