We've budgeted $400/mo for Aug, Sept and Oct political giving. Who...

... should we give our money to? (Sorry! .... to whom should we give our money????)

We're definitely giving money to the NDRC (National Democratic Redistricting Committee). If you don't know about this group, headed up by Eric Holder, please check it out.

Isn't NDRC targeting important state fights this November? nt LAS14 Aug 2018 #3

I'm mostly supporting key races in NC plus a few in TN. People like Anita Earls for NC Supreme Court, and Dean and Bredesen for TN gov and sen. Dean fundraiser this week.
