Shameless request for help with an internet vote.

#1

Post by lithium630 » Sun Jan 06, 2013 11:32 pm

A police officer I know in my town was shot 5 times last year while chasing a bad guy. He is still working on his recovery but was lucky to survive. A local radio station is trying to find the "person of the year" in an internet poll. For some reason some Ron Paul supporters do not want a police officer to win and are stacking the vote. I would appreciate any votes for Dan Doherty to show him some support. Sorry to be a pain but it bothers me.

One guy is a chalupa expert??? sounds like a person of the year candidate to me...

I appreciate it! Another guy on the list is a crazy weather man. I can't believe it's so close. Feel fee to vote 6-7 times like they do in Chicago. :)

Done. Always pleased to support the police as my Dad was an officer for 20 years.

Unfortunate that your Manchester has a gun problem like ours does.

I was curious what shiresharing.org was, so I took a look and found my new favourite photo:

Thanks for the help everyone. Shiresharing.org is run by Freestaters. Freestaters are similar to "sovereign citizens" and believe US laws don't apply to them. They constantly do whatever childish stunts they can to get arrested an get attention. In reality they making a lot of money getting suckers to buy their tee shirts and bumper stickers.

I've just voted again, from work. Unfortunately two thousand votes seems a big gap to make up in a few hours.

We caught up! :) It's going to be close, the free staters are not going to be happy.
