Charities and Politicians!
I have lived beyond my expectations and I still enjoy learning for nearly 93 years. Recently I decided to review the non-requested mail and the E mail volume that usually arrives every day. I selected to keep all of the mail received from April 3rd and April 10, 2023.
I decided to list the name from the U.S. mail, any free anything if I was being bribed to feel like I had to respond with a donation. The range of donations requested by the sender. By accident I had received 34, 2023 calendars that I had given to neighbors and friends this year.

This does not even compare with the E mails that I receive every day for donations for votes. When you understand that political donations are subjected to taxes before they are given and again when they are spent by far too many Americans that balloon our national debt.
Our government is so bloated today with too many people who are paid far above people who work until they are 67 to retire instead of retiring in their 50’s. Politicians never retire even though they are Millionaires in less than two terms for most.
God bless my friends who are all conservatives to a life serving others. I love my Liberals in my family but I would not vote for them either
