Enough is Enough West Coast Rally organizers need a little help

They had over 20,000 people sign up to attend on their Facebook page. While they knew that wouldn't happen, they expected between 2k and 5k

I would guess it was 2,000 but I don't know for sure. Haven't seen an official count.

This rally was for liberal, progressive, people sick of the bullshit in our new oligarchy. They support Sanders, played a recent speech and the head of his Veterans Affairs for his campaign, Tyson Manker, was the keynote speaker. He was FABULOUS too.

They're short by almost $4,000 to pay for the event. If you can chip in even a few dollars, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

These guys worked so hard for months. I hate to see them out of pocket for such a large amount

Events like this cost a fortune to put on. And these guys poured their hearts, souls, sweat, tears and money into it. I know them and they're motivated to change the world for the better.

They need to raise the goal to reflect the higher than expected expenses.

R U feeling better?

I'll ask them about that. Good idea.

Yes, thank you. Not great, yet. But much better!

How are you?
