It may just be a bit presumptious to say so…but, i think that there are so many people who are dissatisfied with both the Republican and Democratic parties that we are going to see something that i tagged as a DemoPublican.

Nine years is a relatively short amount of time to change lives, community, and environment. Luckily, Franklin D.
