[do not ignore this] re: tonight is the first debate

Mark Takano We have just over 24 hours left to reach our end-of-quarter FEC deadline and we still need to raise another $11,427. If we come up short on our most important deadline yet, the GOP will see Mark as a vulnerable target.We can’t let that happen. This quarterly FEC deadline is a ver…

.016% of the cost of a single Presidential trip to Mar-a-Lago

Mark Takano $750 = That's all Trump paid in income taxes in 2017. That’s less than half the cost of a one-night stay in his Washington hotel and .016% of the cost of a single Presidential trip to Mar-a-Lago — which you (the tax payer) pay for. Trump spent nearly a hundred times more on hair …

We can't let our guard down

Trump's SCOTUS nominee

ousting SCOTUS hypocrites
