Hi John,  The Republican Convention wrapped up last night, and we have just one thing to say: We must defeat Donald Trump this November.  Here’s the truth: Behind the pageantry, stagecraft, and nice-sounding speeches (besides Trump’s — what was that?!) is an extreme agenda that wants to fundamental…
