Morning Thanks

Garrison Keillor once said we'd all be better off if we all started the day by giving thanks for just one thing. I'll try.

We need $300



First time I've asked for money in ten years.

But we're 300 bucks short of the $2600 or so we need to place a full-page ad in the Sioux City Journal making very clear that some voters in Iowa's Fourth District don't appreciate the inane prejudices of our congressman, Rep. Steve King. Those of you who are not from here will remember him for claiming Hispanic illegals have cantaloupe calves from toting all those drugs over the border. Just a week or so ago, he claimed we don't need other countries' babies, then doubled down on that poison phrase with even more xenophobic invective.

An AP story claimed that here in King's stronghold, nobody really objected to his prejudices. People here simply assumed, "well, that's Steve."

Some of us don't want to be tallied in that way, so we're doing a GoFundMe to raise money for a full-page ad declaring as much in the region's biggest papers. We'll take anything right now--nickles, dimes, or quarters. 

Won't you consider contributing?

Most Americans are weary of these illegal alien invaders and had enough. Anything wrong with that? We just want the laws enforced. Anything wrong with that? Make your own nation fit and safe to live in (if you care for you homeland).
Just some thoughts.
I like stopping by here. Very interesting blog site. Thanks.
