35 years as an American has taught me

Interesting how
this goes, folks. You vote and watch.
And then what comes next?

I was born during
Nixon and now we have Bush.
And things have not changed.

Let me explain here...
When I shop for shampoo there
are lots of choices.

When I follow sports
I want an array of teams
to choose from. But why?

Each team has something
to offer. Competition.
Strategy. True grit.

I would not watch if
there were only two teams to
choose from. So let's look...

During my years here
as an American I
have seen two teams play.

Both teams have won and
lost. Over and over and
really, what has changed?

If you demand for
more than two cereals in
your grocery store...

then why not more choice
in the politics that frame
your infrastructure?

Just consider your
options, America. They
do exist. Check them.

Feel free to choose from
the two teams or maybe see
what your options are.

Vote early this year.
Exercise your right to choose.
Our choices change lives.
