Proud to add a few bucks
I would like to donate. My time too.
Oh.
I guess this implies a new menu approach like we all want for cable TV choices.
For my taxes here are some:
YES to Investigation of Hillary, Comey,Podesta,Huma,FBI and DOJ during Obama Administration.
NO to NPR funding
NO to Planned Parenthood funding.
YES to border wall and strict enforcement and prosecution.
NO to lifetime high dollar pensions and health benefits for Congress & families after they leave.
