Oh what we have missed out on after the Russians installed Trump into the White House and yet Hillary
keeps right on working to help people.
T** --
Before you sit down and share a meal with loved ones today, Id like to ask you to consider making a donation that will be evenly split among 12 groups working to protect children and families who have been affected by the administrations cruel border policies.
More than a year after the first reports of children being taken away from their parents at the border, there is still so much work to do, from reuniting families to making sure that those seeking asylum have the resources they need to navigate a complicated system.
Too often, it feels as though all we can do is read the news and be heartbroken. Im grateful that, over and over again, this team has chosen to take action.
This Thanksgiving, please make a contribution to support 12 groups working on protecting and reuniting families at the border:

(14,914 posts)Kicking for exposure and publicizing donation link for this great group of organizations working with the victims of Monster45's despicable family separation policies. I am happy to send something to help mitigate the damage....like you, I wish I could do more.

(5,106 posts)Her biggest crime has to be somewhat of a "pioneering woman" in politics. The increasing number of women running for president have her to thank for taking the edge off the hostility that still exists toward a possible woman POTUS (even Republican Carly Fiorina). I read a poll recently taken (no idea how accurate) where a small majority of men (51% ?) of all parties, could never see a woman as president. Hillary has her faults, but nowhere near as many as most male candidates. Biil Clinton may have inadvertently started it by saying, after his inauguration, that we were "getting two for one" with him and Hillary. A lot of people jumped on that at the time. And the resentment toward "Hillarycare"....!

(70,449 posts)... of hate radio, Fox News, News Max, and so on that pushed the false narrative that Hillary
is some kind of anti-Christ and a certain % of Americans bought into that crap for the past 30
years. Did you know that Hillary had somebody killed in order to hide Bill's cocaine ring?
Sure Hillary is an assertive woman that some of my fellow men find threatening but at her
core she is a good person who wants to help people, families, and her country.

(42,862 posts)Unlike some who solicit on behalf of others... she DOES NOT keep a percentage. I really like that about her.
I've seen some VERY sneaky emails in my life where a well known entity asks for contributions to help out a specific cause or candidate... but hidden with the fine print of the email (or hidden in the fine print of the donation website's TOS) it is revealed (but you have to be looking for it) that a portion of the donations are actually redirected with the "well known entity". Ugh! --- What a sneaky thing to do! So dishonest!
All I'm saying is that unless you're absolutely certain that your donation isn't being "skimmed" by that contacted you on behalf of someone else, it's best to give directly.
Every indication here is that HRC's efforts are NOT self-serving and HRC is definitely NOT skimming. Awesome!

(70,449 posts)Chelsea Clinton unlike's Trump's charity* that paid off Florida's A.G., took money for vets and never
paid out anything until after the Washington Post wrote about that, and somehow was contacted to a
an Eric Trump charity for kids cancer that just kept the money they brought in until they were caught.
Hillary tried to warn us but all we heard about was her emails.

Trump should be impeached on this scam alone. Trump admitted his guilt in paying a 2 million $ penalty.
