I retired & have to budget my money but I keep donating 3$ bucks here, $10 on occasion when I can afford it. I will keep doing this. While it may seem a paltry sum, if everyone kicks in what they can it soon adds up. I want to see Obama in. Mitt & Ryan scare me. We will be in deep trouble if they get in office. Have to get these votes out.
