(Due to the nature of politics, certain persons associated with the USDemocrat Network have chosen to use fictitious names rather than their own. Although it is expressly forbidden to retaliate against a person for their political views or associations, that doesn’t prevent employers from using other excuses to hide their true motives. Although these people are willing to give their time and efforts to the cause as volunteers, you must forgive them if they are not willing to put their and their family’s present and future prosperity on the line. Some day we may get past this, but that day is not here yet.)
