She was once a professional motorcycle road racer with a sponsorship. Owns(ed?) a legacy BMW Airhead bike that she had hoped to ride through South America to Cape Horn.
She became a beacon for progressive politics and a rising star in the Democratic Party.
Then some demented fool who had no business got his hands LEGALLY on a semi auto pistol with a 30 round magazine and ended everything but her breath and her heart.
If there is an extra dollar in your budget dedicate it to her organization. If anybody knows how to get this done despite the nutzoid Republican court it's her.

I appreciate your support so very much.
