Talarico is sending me a request for another contribution

He needs to meet a goal before June 30th. I really don't have the money but I am willing to donate. But I am afraid of the new polls that show that scum Paxton pulling ahead.

I am going to give 25$ that I don't have.

If you can please give 5 bucks. Thank You

Despite my punishing tax dilemma here in Germany, as a US citizen, I still have the right to contribute, and I always put aside what I can for election years. I have sent him the post-primary max allowable, so please do not go without food for two days for this.

$1.5 billion was an obscene waist of money in 15weeks and I wish I had the money I donated back.

Put your family first.

The frustrating thing is how much debt the Harris campaign was in after, and it needed the DNC to help pay it off.

If I were giving, I’d give to a select few campaigns and candidates.
