Jan 23

I got Fettermaned in the last elextion and therefore am unlikely to donate to any Democratic politiicans this year but rather to organizations that are actually fighting to make the country better.

David Hogg's Leaders We Deserve is a good one as they are fighting to primary Democrats that do the kind of crap
we are talking about here.

The ACLU is another organization to donate to as they are the ones out front fighting for our freedoms and for fair elections
