Wow, got an e-mail from Carol King......

Hi friend, it's Carole King.
My friend Sherrod Brown is facing a tough reelection, and he needs ALL of us to pitch in. YOU have grassroots power, and together, we ARE grassroots power.

Will you join me in supporting Senator Brown with a donation of $5, or whatever you can afford?

Here’s why Sherrod is worthy of your support.
When I was growing up, my mom taught speech in public school, and my dad was a firefighter. They taught me the value of hard work, and most importantly, the Dignity of Work. Today, I’m still a proud member of three unions.

Guess I can donate a little something……

Maybe during Obama's terms? Everything was so cool during his admin. Not saying Joe's isn't great, it is. But Obama was just wonderful and too cool for school...

Just a word of caution. Scammers are around every corner these days. Just be careful. Instead of clicking on a link provided in an email, see if you can find the original source (like Sherrod Brown's official website), just to be sure your money is going where you want it to, and not into some kind of grifters bitcoin collection.

Call me paranoid. That is OK.

But. But. I'm not sure how I would feel about a multi millionaire asking me, who is on SS to donate.
Not that it's not worthwhile, but.......

Working for Sherrod.
He helped out my family with a tax issue.
He's pro-union, pro=women and is pro-family.
