Landiran Kern, Jr.:
People, I would say, you know they felt a little hostile during the presidential election cycle, but now it's, "You want to talk to me about another election cycle? You want me to open my door? It's negative 20 degrees outside. Can you please just leave?" And I know that we seem like a burden to come and to knock on your door, but it's that important. I've been saying that since the presidential cycle, that it's that important that you go out and vote. Once you've made that decision, I'm still not going to stop bothering you, because I want you to really understand the impact that your vote have. We need to stop treating our government like they're the big shark. They are the little shark. There are a few hundred people who go out and make the decision. And we are the people who employ them. Once we show them that, again, we are that big shark, the more our impact will have.
