    When you have 3 counties running the state, there needs to be a drastic change. The government quit listening to the people except the rich.

I have great respect for Semi for running his campaign on his own merit. But, I know who he voted for. What a wake up call we are in. Sir, Governor Bird, we are in the flock. God Bless you.

After you actually look into Semi Bird. Look at the 2 side by side in a photo. Then ask yourself this. Out of these 2 options. Witch one stands a better chance of winning moderate/liberal support? The answer is clear. I will be praying for you brother 🙏.
