As the plantation of James Madison, Father of the Constitution, and the place where approximately 300 people of color were enslaved, Montpelier is connected to the Constitution and, by extension, the identity, freedoms, and responsibilities of the American people.

Voting by mail is safe and secure. Especially during a pandemic. But Trump continues to say – without evidence – it will lead to voter fraud and that it’s not “honest voting.” That’s. Simply. Not. True. RT if you support everyone being able to vote safely by mail in November.
