    Re: Louis not voting.
    I have some uneasiness about Louis’ choice in not voting. (Yes, I do agree that it’s his choice). As he stated, his position is that he can do more by speaking out in his media forum. However, consider that your voice can be taken away if you don’t use your vote to protect it. As an example here in California we have prop 32, supported by the Koch brothers that will take away the voice away from a great body of the electorate in favor of super PACS, Banking industry, Big Oil, Etc. It’s our votes that are needed to drive a stake into the heart of this evil proposition. There is a saying “No single rain drop assumes responsibility for the flood.” We need the flood of votes to wash away bad polititians.
    To Louis: Don’t think of yourself as the single rain drop, but as an honored member of the flood. How can your listeners seriously consider a membership in your enterprise if you don’t believe enough in your message, that it doesn’t inspire you to vote.
    Keep up the good work. – Al from Long Beach

    Re: 2nd Presidential debate.

    Romney’s tax policy is seriously flawed. It’s an illusion, a fiscal fantasy. We cannot afford to have this “get rich quick” or rather “let’s make the super rich even richer” charlatan as president.
