@RetSmartLCRN @travisakers @Nestle I have been boycotting Nestle products for years because of their stance on water rights and bottling water such as Arrowhead while a draught in So Cal. Poland Springs water etc. My cat eats Iams. Yes, very hard to boycott (even know the whole list). ๐ป๐บ๐ฆ.

@Lifelandlady Read The Giver. The book NOT the movie. The Giver is a 1993 American young adult dystopian novel by Lois Lowry. It is set in a society which at first appears to be utopian but is revealed to be dystopian as the story progresses. The novel follows a 12-year-old boy named Jonas.

THIS IS IMPORTANT:. 1. GO TO TO CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION. 2. YOU DON'T NEED TO MAIL IN YOUR BALLOT! STATES ALLOW FOR IN PERSON DROP OFF AT YOUR COUNTY CLERK, REGISTRAR, OR LOCAL BOARD OF ELECTION. LOOK ONLINE FOR YOUR COUNTY AND SEE WHERE TO DROP IT OFF!.
Safest way to vote: Ask for an absentee ballot 2 months in advance. If it doesnโt arrive by October 15, pick it up at your county Board of Elections (Google yours), fill it out, and return it right there โ and demand validation of your signature.
