As Election Day nears, the television floods us with one campaign ad after another.

I just wanted to stop by and talk some 'tics just for a minute. I want to make sure that everyone has more than two choices. I would like everyone to remember that a Libertarian named Bob Barr will be running. If you're sick and tired of corrupt government, then vote for him.
