[extropy-chat] Draft List of "Transhumanist" Themed Charities

[Mike Lorrey]

Excuse me, but the FSP is NOT a political group, it is a migration
group, so you apparently have not been doing sufficient research. The
FSP does not endorse or support any candidate, party, legislation, or
issue. I note that all your rejected groups for 'too political' are
libertarian or liberty-leaning groups.
