What's the magic in $19 per month? [View all]

Kids in desperate circumstances, dogs and cats in desperate circumstances, Hospitals that do great medicine and don't charge bother patients, wildlife guardians, and many others, when asking for our financial support, ask for $19 a month.

Tonight it was the ACLU asking for $19 a month.
