Red and blue make purple, and that's what we are. Purple haze, purple rain, a government by and for the purple. Imagine if every voter painted his/her face the color of his/her presidential choice and then stood outside and looked up for a nationwide satellite photograph. Do you know what you'd see?

Daily action counts more than quadrennial election spectacle. You vote at the pump. red with anger, blue with sorrow
