I have said it before and I will say it again and say it for the last time……….AMERICA PUT YOUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE AND FOR ONCE BAN TOGETHER TO PUT A STOP TO THIS TYRANNICAL ORDEAL THAT WILL SOON TAKE PLACE. WE ARE LOSING OUR FREEDOMS EVERYDAY AND IF WE DON’T TAKE A STAND NOW, THERE WILL BE NO CONSTITUTION, NO BILL OF RIGHTS AND NO CIVIL LIBERTIES OF FREEDOM. BASICALLY WILL BE MICRO-CHIPPED AND THEN BECOME SLAVES TO TEH GOVERNMENT…WITHOUT FREEDOMS.

Yall can thank Obama who is destroying the USA
