I just made my FIRST political donation !!

... for Democratic candidates out of my own states. (My Very Blue State didn't need my few bucks and it's a waste of time in this Very Red State. Yet, it's about the MOST IMPORTANT issue of the campaign...SCOTUS.

Presidents come and go. SCOTUS move in for life. Four are over 70 and looking at retiring. At least we can make the RW Justices work for four more years.

We may have our disappointments about POTUS, but he'll nominate new Justices well, so we have to help out down ticket. $5-10 on a debit card ... give up one "chicken sandwich and drink", OK or the equivalent, and send it on...takes about a minute and a half.

Al Franken and Sherrod Brown...fighting against Citizen's United. Yes, we can !!

Any contested seat could use some love though. We need more than just Obama.
