my feelings/fears were confirmed by a MinuteMan I telephoned last week
Oh, yeah.
I called to ask about making a donation. He told me where to locate the information on their website. Personal checks have to be sent to their Houston address. I asked him if there is a Chapter in my State. He said no. I said I am concerned that things are really going to turn bad in the U. S., and he agreed with me, without saying anything else on the subject. I don't know if anyone were "listening," and that is the reason he didn't say anything else, or what.
