Thu Aug 7 23:11:46 EDT 2014

Free and Equal is a wonderful outfit.

You don't see them worrying about being Quixotic in their mission of

They aren't worried about splitting the vote.

I dont know why any citizen should be worried about splitting the vote 
between one or the other of the 1%-backed status-quo-parties...
