one weird thing about Leap Day

Support Public Citizen Today is February 29 — Leap Day. And that’s a good thing. Because as of yesterday, we were more than $13,000 — $13,060, to be exact — short of our fundraising goal for the month. If $13,060 doesn’t sound like much for an organization as strong as Public Citizen, let me…
