CALL TO ALL 10 08 2018

I cannot believe it Tennessee. Why are not these five great women running way ahead of their competition. Taylor Swift just came out with her first ever endorsement for Senate and House candidates. I can’t bring myself to actually give money to her Senate choice but I really want him to win, blocking out the “Blackburn effect.” So I am going way out on a limb in donating to the campaigns of these five women for Congress. Come on Tennesseans. Do it for Al Gore if not for Taylor!
