Thank you very much for everyone who has upvoted this post despite a few others attempting to hide it with down voting.
This showed me that not everyone is well-intentioned here on Steemit and that some people see only their own interest. It also showed me that there is not only love and passion, but hatred.
This encouraged me to post a backup on my blog here http://www.michelgerardonline.com/blog/vote-jerry-banfield-steem-witness/ and spend the rewards and more in Facebook ads to promote Jerry Banfield as a witness, so even more people will see it.
