We reached $10,000 for Voces de la Frontera overnight!
We aren’t quite there yet with the Angel match from Mousebumples, and we have a second Balloon Juice angel who has offered to match $250 for Voces de la Frontera!
So for the next $650 in donations in the comments, if you donate up to $50, your contribution is multiplied by 4.
If you donate $10, it turns into $40. $25 turns into $100. $50 turns into $200. And everything in between!
Fine Print: Since we have another BJ angel, the match resets, so even if you donated yesterday you eligible for the Angel match today.
Donations matched up to $25k!

There’s more than one way to fight this SC ruling.
We need the House and the Senate and the statehouses.

Have put a few bucks into the pot. Passalong my thanks to the folk who’ll be doing the legwork !
Have a relaxing weekend, fellow jackals. Meself, will be attending election workers’ update course Saturday – Tuesday be the Newark municipal elections.
As you may know, Newark, New Jersey, was founded by a group of Scots people, and though the life here keeps many of the good qualities of that race, local politics, though officially nonpartisan, oft resembles multigenerational Highland clan feuds. A county Board of Elections member told us back in ’20, “You folk from Newark, if you’ve been thru city election, no rumored presidential election hassles will phase you….”
