Please read this & help save the State Library of Victoria, entering its 'now fully trashed' era. I didn't go to uni - for me the Library was higher education in later life, research for my job, a revelation about what ordinary people could have access to. It changed my life. Not just a building.

This Republican is a straight shooter, with Old Tennessee sayings to boot.
Watch as he talks about their attempt to ban Congressional Stock Trading.
He includes: Fonzi quotes. Admiration for swamps (beauty in Mother Nature). TN idioms. And the words "daggommit" & "damgum." 🤣😂

They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.
