This crime is the thinnest yet!
Seems like a good way to raise money for a charity you like. Say, planned parenthood. Get everyone you know to sign the petition. Vote for whomever you want and but that trash bag weasels money to good use.

America badly needs electoral reform and viable third parties. This FPTP, pay-to-win system creates is such a dumpster fire.
Accused of, huh?
Seems like it should have been " charged with"
