@redenigma Same!! Politico did report on the Michigan group "To The Republic". They are a non-profit that does not have to legally report who their donors are. Very unfortunate!

@PaganMother I have tickets! I'll tell them lol . I need to find out what exactly they're promoting. Highly disturbing! I have my parents group all in on this (non-profit fellow parents created to combat right wing groups from infiltrating the school districts BOE.). We are pro-active!!!

@th3j35t3r 😄 Safe and sound on Counter Social. 👍🏻

@sheseala 🤣

So, this is happening.... everywhere in the US.

The tour is called "The Florida Blueprint, ft. Special Guest Gov. Ron DeSantis". It is sponsored by the group "And To The Republic". They are a group that started an organization called "Michigan Freedom Fund.

This appears to be an attempt to spread the very fascism that DeSantis was responsible for in Florida. They are holding an event in my county soon. Be aware that they might come to your neighborhood. Tickets are FREE, BTW 😉 Eventbrite.

@Savean Glad you had an honest salesman! 8K extra is insane! I hope you receive it soon

@Savean I was looking for a new vehicle just before the pandemic hit and I never got to order one. Now I'm still stuck with my 2007 Toyota sienna LE minivan 😄. It runs and has 90K miles on it so I guess I'll run it into the ground because like you, I'm sure I'll have difficulty buying a new car. Plus the prices are about 5K above sticker price, am I correct? I hope you get your car soon!

@MovieNights I think I'll be at a school-sponsored event but if I get home early enough I'll pop on to watch.

@RuthEd I can empathize. I worked nights for many years.

@The_USA_Singers The dumbing down of America, that's what they want. If you're not educated you won't fight back against their tyranny.

@th3j35t3r oh very cool!

@Gerry Outrageous!

"Currently, Florida will offer no benefits to PARENTS who make more than $7,000 a year. Yes, A YEAR. And adults without children are not eligible for benefits no matter what they earn. To qualify for Medicaid in Florida, a person must be considered low-income and be either pregnant, have children under 18, have or live with a family member who has a disability, or be at least 65 according to Benefits.com"

@th3j35t3r Right back at ya' 😊

@MovieNights when is the next movie night?

@Victor That worked, thanks! the card I used was one that I reported to the bank because someone tried to fraudulently to use it. And of course, I can't find my wallet (think I left it in the car..eeks..it's locked) so tomorrow I'll grab it and update my card info. Mystery solved!

@ecksmcOK will do..thanks!
