All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. (Or something like that.) Kudos to all who Freeped the SA.

I will be sending a check with this article attached. Saying as long as they continue to do the right thing, so will I!
I, also, donate monthly with a automatic special donation added to my PG&E utility bill! That came close to being cancelled! I will attach a copy of my PG&E bill with the monthly and ytd donations printed on my bill!
By attaching my check to this article, there will be no guessing on their part about why will continue to donate or discontinue if they make the wrong choice!
