We are getting the best support from very small donors we have seen in a long time. It is wonderful. But the progress bar still isn’t moving enough.
Larger matching donations have been difficult to come by. Is there someone out there who can match the effort by the smaller donors this month.
Very grateful in advance.

How to Understand Trump's Perverted Version of History
Zachary B. Wolf, CNN Wolf writes: "President Donald Trump's taste for history is moving in new and awkwardly divergent directions as he faces the twin challenges of an impeachment inquiry and a 2020 re-election campaign."
EXCERPTS:
But while he wants to be compared to Washington, he's also frustrated with the Founding Fathers about emoluments. Before the Cabinet meeting he went after the Constitution's "phony" emoluments clause, suggesting even the Founding Fathers were against him.
Emolument is Constitution-speak for a salary or benefit derived from public office.
Trump is right that the Founding Fathers were against the idea of any President trading on the office of the United States presidency. But he's also, it turns out, right that they didn't really close the loop and spell out how to make sure it didn't happen -- which is how he's been able to remain in possession of his real estate holdings, and to keep his business dealings private, while in office.
The Miami Herald reported Congressional Democrats plan to file plan to file a legal brief that alleges Trump's short-lived plan to hold a G7 summit with leaders of other developed democracies at his golf course in Doral, Florida, violates the emoluments clause. Democrats were already suing him for violating the foreign Emoluments Clause, arguing he must get the consent of Congress before accepting money from foreigners.
Trump was shocked at the blowback against his attempt to hold the summit for world leaders at his golf course. And that's partially, according to his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, because while Trump is the US President, he still sees himself as being in the hospitality business.

Humanity Has Already Destroyed Half the Animal and Plant Life on Earth
CBC Radio Excerpt: "The increasing rate of species threatened with extinction that's alarming biologists is just one feature of the massive transformation humans have wrought on our planet. Another shocking reality is that Earth is far poorer not just in the diversity of life, but also in the raw amount of life." READ MORE Update My Monthly Donation |
