Sick of "playing by the rules" [View all]

I used to think it was unfair to donate to races in other states.

So far today I've donated to the Senatorial campaigns of Wendy Davis in TX (how I would love to never hear from her smarmy opponent Cruz the rest of my life) and Gary Peters in MI. His seat is sorely needed to flip the Senate.

I'm basically the crazy, mad DONATER LADY this cycle!!
