Lucky they don’t live in Michigan. They might get rejected for the wrong font.

What does the font in Michigan have to do with Russia?
I do not understand.

Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Chairman, American Independent Party.

Also, by the use of Michigan, are you stating the State of Michigan or do you mean the remainder of the Territory of Michigan. Michigan Territory and the Territory of Hawai’i are the only two United States Territory that has a current remainder.

Nonpartisan App.V. for all elected executive and all judicial officers – pending head to head math.

# 2 The Congress MORONS somehow failed to put territory parts of the U.S.A. into some States ???

— akin to the messup regarding the formation of Ohio in 1803 ???

Or as the Russians say “polnoya khuynya”
