Speaking of activists... None of these individuals congratulating each other are championing anyone but themselves. Americans for Prosperity is a PAC funded by powerful billionaires who'd rather not pay their share of supporting the republic that protects them, while enjoying its very profitable benefits. ACORN was an organization that registered poor people to vote, which is why it was smeared … more ›
