If you really want to do something about the Bundy Bunch

Something more than laugh and point (fun tho that may be!)...or if you believe they are a real threat to America or wildlife refuges or something...may I suggest donating to one group that has taken on hate groups around the country--the souther Poverty Law Center. They have crippled and destroyed hate groups in the courts, hitting them in the pockets (where their little souls hide). SPLC also fights for economic justice, LGBT and immigration rights.

Continue to laugh and point--it's said the devil hates to be laughed at--but if you can chip in, here's one on our side.

Will do so and encourage other to do so as well. They're one of the groups that wisely uses donations, trustworthy and essential to the health of our democracy!
