I went over preemption and how many municipalities are making their own local laws that are violating our rights everyday, but because they are a Boro or Township many people pay no attention until it is to late.
Well this morning he woke me up and asked if I could take him to school and if we could stop and vote on the way. I was never so happy to wake up in my life
I am very proud of him and I am also sure that this will begin a life long habit of participating in every election for him.

Good work man, rep on the way. IMHO local elections are MORE important than federal ones; they put into office the people that affect daily life and one's immediate community.
