about the community and their children who live in fear. T'rump went to a black church and tried to put down Hillary before he was stopped. He is certainly a low-life scumbag.

The local media, I guess was so consumed by that horror show 4 hrs SW of here where our QB is allergic to his hometown, decided not to cover this event, or at least on social media.

or to follow her through her life. I have. I've read what she has said since her speech at Wellesley College. I've followed her career. I have never believed what the nasty right-wing ( and some on the left) have said about her.

She's a good and caring person.

Pumped about her utter destruction of the Donald and 30 years of RW lies. It all came crashing down Monday night. It was an awesome spectacle to watch.

or bolster it going into the next election cycle.

Please donate what you can to GOTV efforts. Donate to NC Dem Party or Democratic Party of Mecklenburg County, specifically, because THAT county is where the most votes are for Dems.
