Choose Fascism or Democracy Brady's Touch

Choose Fascism or Democracy.
That is the choice this election season
Will we choose the future or the past?
The choice is up to all of us.
Our choice.

Some want to impose theocracy.
Did President Trump commit treason?
Will he finally face justice?
That is something we must discuss.
Our voice.
