"The one that throws the less dirt. The one that has the sincerity at heart. The one that really wants to follow the principles of the founding father of the republic of the United States of America... is the right candidate. .. No one can tell you who to vote for. That is your own choice. .

".. [in past elections] the human family has always been left out, because racism has been the tool, from the begining of time, that has allowed certain people, people that are in power, people that steal power, and refuse.. to let go of that power, and share with everybody else, they use racism as that tool, to keep people divided and conquered.
