Talk about falsehoods. I've been a card carrying Republican all my adult life, but have voted "against" some Repubs. from time to time. I joined the Young Republicans over 25 yrs ago at Athens State and even held an office in that group. No, I'm not as active now due to work and family commitments, but that hardly makes me a Dem.
And no, I'm talking about SA donations being sent to Mexico to a SA church there. These "captains" stay in an area four to five yrs then pack up and move on to their next job. No accountability.
Sure you can give where you want, but anyone giving should want to know where their money goes. I like mine to help people in the Shoals and NW Alabama.
