Happy September and LABOR DAY! Remember, if you like having "weekends" and "days off", thank the Labor Movement. Also, remember to give what you can to your local, state and federal candidates as well as parties or special advocacy groups close to your heart. There's a lot more of us than the billionaires and corporations, but we do have to get around to kicking in a little to fund OUR people in opposition to THEIRS. Got $100 bucks to give? Use this silly little table below to allocate it!

I am so sick of the both sides bullshit.

#SCOTUS’ 2010 #CitizensUnited decision opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal #elections.
The limits on party spending stem from a desire to prevent large donors from skirting caps on individual contributions to a candidate by directing unlimited sums to the party, with the understanding that the #money will be spent on behalf of the candidate.
The #SupremeCourt had previously upheld the limits in 2001.

#TimothyMellon, who lives primarily in Wyoming, keeps a low profile despite his prolific political spending. He is also a significant supporter of #Health Secy #RFKJr, who also ran for president last year. Mellon donated millions to Kennedy’s presidential campaign & has also given money to his #AntiVax group, Children’s *Health* Defense.

#TimothyMellon, a wealthy banking heir & railroad magnate, is a longtime backer of #Trump ….
A grandson of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, Mr. Mellon was not a prominent Republican donor until Trump was elected. But in recent years, he has poured HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars into supporting Trump & the #Republican Party.
