Angie's List was a Wendy Davis supporter?

Vote with your dollars.

I've never bought any of Willie's music, but I've gone to a lot of Tom Hanks movies. That will never happen again! I do appreciate the Chronicle giving me a personal boycott list; that's mighty neighborly for a Hearst rag. I already knew about many, but it was a good remedial course on political dirt bags.

The $5000 and up are real I support you donations. The small ones the press agent may have made just to make that list.

The only time I got to hear Willy Nelson live was that event.

I wasn't clear if those donating were actually present, or if they included mail-in checks.

I'm curious; did Nelson have anything to say about Wendy, Abbott or the race?

And his is the largest donation, at $250,000.....

I know this is very un-Texan of me, but I've never had any respect for him anyway.

Arch Alpin is the owner and I didn't see his name in the Chronicle article. That doesn't mean he hasn't donated to her or other Democrats, but I'd be somewhat surprised. He seems like a very down to earth guy, but that's what Ike through about William Brennan.

So true. She's been caught flat out lying about her past and the "hardships" she endured to graduate from college then law school. She bemoaned the heavy burden of school loans after law school, but failed to mention that she filed for divorce from her nth husband the day after he paid off her school loans! Yep, she's a bastion of honesty, integrity and loyalty. She needs to move to Chicago where she'll fit in quite well.

I had no idea! Then he's either a liar or an idiot -- perhaps both.

Tom Hanks.
