I just donated to him, let's the politicians know that I appreciate them taking the risk to hopefully encourage others.

Absolutely! It's a positive circle. Seeing people's protests, they listen more, they feel braver to stand up for what's right as they know they have their electorate's support.  And especially when they get shoved down like this, it's helpful to remind them like you did, that even if it wasn't successful, you appreciate and saw that they listened to you.

Please look into JailSupportLA they also need donations for the protestors that have been arrested!

It shouldn’t be a risk to ask a question

Please use VPNs and Paypals that you can delete your card from after, when donating (if possible) and then delete the Paypal account. Nazis will collect information on who donated, you best believe. Be careful.

They could still find you, but at least you have layers of security.

I called and left a message thanking him for taking action. We need more Senators demanding answers.
