300,000 people there are without potable water, and they need help.
Besides, this could well be a "scales falling from the eyes" moment for a lot of West Virginians.

(5,106 posts)5. Didn't mean trolliNG, just simple slamming of a state I lived in, and my daughter was born in,
during the Seventies. Arch Moore was governor, having defeated Rockefeller at the time, But then Rockefeller came back and defeated him for governor. People I knew there thought a lot of him and are still voting for him. Not all that many racists, either.

haven't noticed it has nearly gone full blown Rethug lately.
