minded folks which can help with raising money influencing policy
- 00:33
and ruining thanksgiving Two recent elections show that party identification
- 00:38
is a increasing well The u s government hasn't had

So is out Have recent elections shown that party identification
- 00:51
is see remaining stable Well the number of independent voters

as well as the growth of the internet or do

possible causes for this recent decline But if we were
