Suggestion (re freedom is not free)

If numerous persons donated small amounts to candidates in low population states, it could make a big difference. Right?

I am donating $25 - $35 every month to few such candidates, and it feels good - even though these are small amounts. I have usually waited until after the primary in their state.

I would like to point, for example, to Montana, Alani Bankhead, a retired US Air Force Lt Col. She appears to be a fantastic candidate.

Also, I have seen that Josh Turek in Iowa is polling ahead of the R candidate.

The new Maine candidate when selected is likely to be interesting. And who doesn't want to fire what's her name?
