Once the election is over, here's what I'm going to do -----

I'm going to start donating monthly to the Southern Poverty Law Center. It is a well-established institution that has fought racist hate groups for a number of decades now. It's reputation is very good, and if Obama wins, it's going to have its hands full. Please join me in donating to it.

"The Southern Poverty Law Center was founded in 1971 as a small civil rights law firm. Today, SPLC is internationally known for its tolerance education programs, its legal victories against white supremacists and its tracking of hate groups.

Located in Montgomery, Alabama – the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement – the Southern Poverty Law Center was founded by Morris Dees and Joe Levin, two local lawyers who shared a commitment to racial equality. Its first president was civil rights activist Julian Bond."

Maybe no one's commenting on it now, but I'll post again next week. This is something we should support.
