“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual – or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.”

– Samuel Adams, in the Boston Gazette, 1781

Your Vote is statistically NOT a wasted vote.

Cuties a Netflix movie has been in the headlines for over sexualizing children and an internet movement has started calling for Netflix to remove the movie from it's site. You've probably seen the #CancelNetflix trend. The movie is sick but I'd like to tell you about Pornhub and why I think you should be more concerned about that then Netflix.

It’s time to shut down super-predator site Pornhub and hold the executives behind it accountable.
