Dark Money, dark times

The writer of the July 19 letter “Disappointed at Trump rally” expressed his shock to learn money and cronyism exist in the Republican Party. I strongly urge him to get from the library “Dark Money,” written by Jane Mayer, the New York Times best-selling author of “The Dark Side.” It is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of the American democracy. Her list of sources for the information provided is 42 pages long, certainly well researched.
