We’re motivated now.

We wrote to him twice already. We are in Indiana. I’m fixing to vote for Braun because the out-of-state money ads from Democrats are so nasty. Trying to act like Donnelly’s on my side since I’m a working stiff. I call BS.
Donnelly is history.. period!
???
Yes. This was a stupid post of mine. I thought Lindsay Graham was a Democrat.
