Shami,please drop out of the race. This guy doesnt think that cuacasions work. Ive got news for him I been working in and around farms since I was old enough to speak. Lets hope the farming community says no to this loser. I hope his business fails soon. He deserves nothing of good quality. As a taxpayer I'll say this; you can bet he (Shami)had his fair share of freeloading off the American people and mine and your tax dollars just like the illegals do.
