Rally in Tally For Rhana

big money in our elections.
Rhana B is
walking in the footsteps of Granny D, the 89 year-old woman who walked across
the country for campaign finance reform in 1999. And next week, Rhana will
complete her epic trek at the State Capitol building in Tallahassee with a rally
to get big money out of politics.
