23. According to a lot of my recent snail mail, contribute to the party

But, not knowing if our senate will be able to stop the raid on my sole source of earned income, I can't contribute any more right now. Every penny counts for many of us.

And I am not overly pleased with some of the votes cast to confirm several obviously unqualified people to the cabinet of outlaws.

As far as different sets of laws, depending on who supports the coup and who doesn't, I fail to see that ANY laws apply to the coup supporters and participants. There is NO law applied to whatever they want to do. Odd, in a nation with so many lawyers, that we suddenly have no laws, only limits on people who actually observe the laws.
