That nationwide the continues to see the effect break havoc in this country. What will you do to improve the voting and there it is again. I would like to see open primaries everywhere. Federal voting holidafederal vor registration in 18 years of age we have joel here to join us. You will hear it again. And the automatic voter registration. Lets start with the congressman on this money and if you can be specific on the primaries of the voting i think it is a great solution we should have been in the state of florida. I think republicans should embrace this because we can grow the party by embracing the conservative solutions that appeal to independents and those that are no Party Affiliations so i would say yes to the open primaries and on the other issue whatever makes the voting more accessible and successful so we have greater participation.

While the head man of the village walks past and wonders, the villagers still all wonder, and he wonders, too. Poor kid. [marching] at ch
