[Magdalen] pondering politics

[James Handsfield]

Every “Tea Party” person I’ve met is an extreme right wing Republican.

I’d certainly believe you have been asked to donate to the Clinton campaign and Planned Parenthood.  I can understand why you would not want to contribute to the Clinton campaign, but I don’t understand your reluctance to support Planned Parenthood unless you thing that the only thing they do is provide abortions.
