It's Time to Check That Your Registered to Vote!
By Daddy
Las Vegas — We're less than two months from what will probably the most important presidential election of our lives. But you can't participate if you're not registered before hand. Check Vote.org to see what your registration deadline is and mark it on your calendar. In a lot of jurisdictions you can do it online.
Don't give my any gruff about your vote doesn't count. At the very least it sends a message. According to a survey back in November, twenty-one percent of LGBTQ are not registered. With a conservative estimate of 14 million LGBTQ in the United States that's over three million unregistered.
If you don't like the actions of the person currently in the oval office, it's time to vote him out of office. Several months ago I said I wouldn't vote for anybody that was in their seventies or eighties. At that time that still left three or so candidates to look at. But in light of >3 million COVID-19 cases and >130 thousand deaths, its time to change my message.
In the immortal words of Vicky Lawrence in the famous Elephant Story skit on the Carol Burnett show: "Are you sure that little assholes through?" Come November, I sure do hope so.
The Flirt4free commission is going to be much lower that usual, so it's one of those months to watch every penny. To all those that have donated, Thank you! Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page which has been updated with the new address.
