“… so I just try to ignore it and go about my life.”
It is common to hear people say "there's nothing I can do." That is not true; at all. DONATE (even a small amount) to a cause or charity that you support, that represents your goals and values. You may not have the time, abilities, or energy to labor in the work or campaign, but you can SUPPORT those who do. Simple math: if 1000 people donate just $20 to a cause, that’s $20,000.00. If a donor matches, that’s $40,000.00. If 10,000 people donate, thats $400,000. That is the power of MANY.
Just one example. Reclaim Idaho has matched or bettered any other social, religious, political, or community organization working for the benefit of the citizens of this state. I just chipped in and am gathering signatures for the Open Primaries and Ranked Choice Voting Initiative to be placed before the citizens of this state. If it passes, it will BREAK THE BACK of extremist influence on Idaho elections. Come on. Join me. Chip in to your favorite cause.
