I am a seventeen year old girl, and my friends and I are planning a trip to D.C. to march peacefully across D.C., protesting what Obama and the corrupt governtment is doing to America and our furute, and prove that not all kids have been brainwashed to believe that Obama is “amazing” and “gets it”. Anyone who believes in this and preserving America, please contact me if you are on the route from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Washington D.C. Please! I am asking for the American People’s help!I know they say that it only takes one voice, but I can not do this alone! Anyone who is reading this and believes the way i do, please contact me and show me a map of where you are so we can possibly stop by and meet you on the way to D.C! Help me get the word out! Send this to people you think could help. Thank you so much!
