When she comes back with your batree, your condition will be that she and her family can thank you by promising to vote correctly from now on.
Today during my ruck walk around the neighborhood, a black Discovery passed me a few times, and then finally stopped to ask directions. I could tell from the ladies accent she was from off. I gave them directions, then asked they were looking at houses to buy. They were. I informed them how they must vote if they moved into my neighborhood. The whole car full erupted in laughter, and they assured me they were right there with me.
