By refusing to require ID to vote, the government is, in essence, aiding and abetting voter fraud.  True and honest elections are necessary to ensure integrity in our government.  Please take a moment and sign Grassfire Nation's Voter ID Petition.  View Petition HERE   Nationwide Food Drive Conservatives are often accused by the left of being uncaring and greedy.  You and I know that is not the case!  Just because we believe the government should not take our money to give away as they see fit, does not mean that we do not believe in helping our neighbors. Advocating for smaller government means that we need to step up and help those less fortunate than ourselves.  We need to show people that we can and will do what is necessary to fill the needs in our communities.   Please check out Mercury One's food drive efforts.  I think this is a very exciting (and EASY) way to get involved!
