GL, I unsubscribed from the political parties that I was a member of - for just one reason i.e. I get bombarded with telephone calls and emails asking me to participate in fund raising activities. As such, I salute you for going out and raising funds for the politician of your own choice. There are Republican Goans on other lists who have said that they just cannot vote for Donald. I have yet to see Goans express such a disdain for Hilary - that they would not vote for her. The thing that I am really scared of with this years election process, however, is that the Republican Party will rapture after the election. Or before. One final thought, my eleven year old has seen nothing but a black man as her President ever since she started watching TV. She may soon see a woman as President and may never see a white man as President until she gets her first chance to vote. She lives in a changing world. Mervyn
