FOA- Friends of Abe? I'm new so this has probably been discussed before but...

someone posted an article on here awhile back and I was so disturbed/shocked that I had to research this.
This is (from looking at their FB page) an extreme alt-right segment of Entertainment industry people. Founded by Gary Sinese, who I have enjoyed watching in several movies.
I suppose I am naive as hell, but their FB page is disgusting. Calling for the ban of immigrants, using Breitbart as an actual news source, denigrating a Trans person in the comments...the Obama birther thing?

Holy Hell. I don't want to give these sick celebrities a dime. No full list of names is available. But speakers have included Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Mitt R, and Trump among many others currently still in office.

All the talk of liberal Hollywood-well aside from the WWE, I believed it. Does anyone have names of the members? I watch no television aside from the News and Films. I love and enjoy spending my days off watching films of all genres.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I'm on my phone and cannot search threads. I'd just like any information my DU friends could provide. Or even thoughts on this group. I'm new to politics in general. My first time voting was Obama. I'm so new and uninformed I only found out about the existence of Alec last year.

I am trying to learn as much as possible and be as vocal as possible, so please...be gentle. Thanks very much.

Contacting Portman

Is virtually impossible. I am beyond frustrated that I have not been able to get through to speak to any aides in his Washington office regarding healthcare.

Senator Brown is actually taking our calls and passing them on to Portman's team. So at least we can have our opposition to the AHCA heard in a round about way.

Has anyone had any luck reaching Portman in a townhall or phone setting? Also, any other suggestions for me, any route to have our voice heard that I'm unaware of? Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.

Thank all.

Lindsey Graham question

Has he always been a flip-flopping fish?

First he says he wants to "know more about President Trumps business dealings," and tonight he was on Faux News basically saying Trump should not let Comey testify.
WTH...I'd like to smack him. What say ye DU, I'm unfamiliar with his history? Ty
