Someone need to hide my credit card when I've had a glass of Chardonnay. I'm a donating whirlwind!!

Today to both Joe and to my great Congressman Dan Kildee. I've never, in my life, done an automatically recurring donation, but damn. Time to let loose of the purse strings and help to save the nation.

His opponent has a grand total of $6,200. This is a safe seat.

If you want to help someone in Michigan, contribute to Elissa Slotkin.

Up to this point, I've never been one to donate outside of my district, but that looks to change. And, BTW, where can you get the donation statistics? I'd love to see how John James is doing, against Gary Peters.

And I'm sure he is in good shape but Dan has been of great help to my family, in the past. I won't begrudge him a nominal donation.

I want to make that a 100% representation, again, all the way up to, and including, the White House.
