3. Dad has salvation army alert him if family is in trouble
to donate $$ to get them on their feet. Life long dem who thought he wouldn't live long enough to see a dem in Whitehouse again. He translated Obama brochures into spanish to walk into the worst places in Vegas to give to hispanics. He's my hero and these people make me SICK.
