You can vote away our rights by almost 20%, but you'll never get rid of us.
We'll be right there shopping next to you at Food Lion.
We'll be right there pumping gas next to you at the Shell.
We'll be right there ordering pizza next to you at the local pizza joint.
We'll be right there at a stop sign, waving at you to go ahead and go.
We'll be right there teaching your children in public school.
We'll be right there pouring your ridiculous damn drink at Starbucks.
We'll be right there putting out your house fire or giving you a heart bypass.
We'll be right there helping you even though you're too cowardly to care.
You can vote us down, but we'll never go away.
Get over it, bigots. You're throwing toothpicks at a boulder rolling down a mountain.
We'll always be here.
