Don’t Wait Until the Last Moment to Donate
We tend to do better towards the end of the fundraising drives than we do at the beginning. It’s a bad approach. It ensures that the fundraising drives will be longer and the stress for everyone will be greater.
It never used to be this way and it doesn’t need to be this way now.
This is all about “reasonable donations.”

FOCUS: Dan Coats | We Need a Commission to Oversee the 2020 Elections
Dan Coats, The New York Times
Coats writes: "Electoral legitimacy is the essential linchpin of our entire political culture."
Trump’s former director of national intelligence on how to firmly and unambiguously reassure all Americans that their votes will be counted.
e hear often that the November election is the most consequential in our lifetime. But the importance of the election is not just which candidate or which party wins. Voters also face the question of whether the American democratic experiment, one of the boldest political innovations in human history, will survive.
Our democracy’s enemies, foreign and domestic, want us to concede in advance that our voting systems are faulty or fraudulent; that sinister conspiracies have distorted the political will of the people; that our public discourse has been perverted by the news media and social networks riddled with prejudice, lies and ill will; that judicial institutions, law enforcement and even national security have been twisted, misused and misdirected to create anxiety and conflict, not justice and social peace.
If those are the results of this tumultuous election year, we are lost, no matter which candidate wins. No American, and certainly no American leader, should want such an outcome. Total destruction and sowing salt in the earth of American democracy is a catastrophe well beyond simple defeat and a poison for generations. An electoral victory on these terms would be no victory at all. The judgment of history, reflecting on the death of enlightened democracy, would be harsh.
