ONE SMALL
CONTRIBUTION FROM GRANNY D: When we first got started in political publishing we
got a small but very important contribution from none other than, Doris "Granny D" Haddock. Granny D was a tireless
advocate for Campaign Finance Reform. We always thought Campaign Finance Reform
was important but she taught us how important. We are once again preparing to
cover the 2014 election cycle from a NOT FOR SALE perspective. We will take you
inside the major races and stay in the middle of the fight all the way through
November. All without high priced political advertising, PAC Money or Dark
Money. Help RSN, it's a good fight. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported
