Politics, Charities and Causes

My blog is entirely non-profit and personal, I never will demand money to feed my drink, drug, caffeine or spending habits. Instead I’d like to raise awareness to political campaigns, pressure groups and charities that I’m involved or feel strongly about. Whether or not you agree with their cause is entirely your call, but I would hope you take some time out to read about them and maybe even donate, get involved or don their merchandise.
