Beto O’Rouke – Govt WILL mandate what your belief is. HE will decide what you believe in – not your Scriptures.

“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” -Hillary Clinton.

Notable Quote – Vectorman

Reformatted, emphasis mine: “Brooks is, of course, horrified at Trump and his supporters, whom he finds childish, thuggish and contemptuous of the things that David Brooks likes about today’s America.
