Imagine disrespecting Dolly Parton like this Dolly sends out millions of books every year thru her Imagination Library program. Indiana Republicans want to end Dolly’s childhood literacy campaign by revoking their 50% matching funds. Dolly gives to those in need. Republicans give to billionaires

Tearing apart, the military, the Postal Service, the IRS, the FBI, and every institution in the United States. It’s like watching a loaded Jumbo jet crash into a busy mall in slow motion and you just can’t turn away.
