I’m 64 and Progressive. My wife is 64 as well, liberal but not as progressive. We’re FRUSTRATED.
Say we have $6k to contribute and 20 hrs/week each to volunteer, how can we maximize impact?
Background:
We’re retired. Live in Smyrna, GA, Atl burb in Cobb. We’re both politically active, me more so. We’ve written postcards, attended protests / rallies. We’ve given $ to candidates and causes - also charities. I’ve attended Indivisible meetings, knocked on doors. I’m a poll worke…

@… I usually have my butler attend to such things. White cotton gloves, and all that.
I procured a touch screen display especially for FreshPorts. Still, he tells me, this has not facilitated destruction of the bug. Is there a driver issue?
