Funding is not optional. We are - required - to have a basic budget, like it or not. We would love to reduce fundraising. Reasonable donations will absolutely allow us to do that.
Right now reasonable donations are lacking.
With urgency.

EXCERPT:
You don’t have to be a genius to run for public office, just look at Donald Trump. He did it, and you know to the core of your being that even a misogynist dickhead from your office would do a better job than Trump. What Trump illustrates is that you don’t even have to have special expertise to run for office and win. Good elected officials hire the best public servants they can find to run the show. Great elected officials listen to the advice of experts and weighs that advice against the concerns of constituents to make the best possible decisions for the community. We need more smart, thoughtful, regular folks in public office – not more grandstanders and blowhards. Take that leap and file.
