As far as fund raising for all candidates is concerned its early yet. You people act like the election is in two weeks rather than in 20 months. We may all convert to Islam by then and decide to appoint a Caliph

Well, not only can't you spell (hint, its TRAILER and BRIBERY and NONSENCE and BLAME) but you can't understand simple post. I wonder how you possibly get through the verbiage spewed out by Sam for example. Not once did I say anything about blaming anyone, I said that I had no objection to anyone giving money to any political candidate.
Lobbying has been a fixture of this government since 1833 and not likely to go away. Personally, I also find nothing wrong with lobbying since it is a way I can get my message in front of my elected officials. Do you really think your representative will read 10,000 letters or emails? No, but if one lobbyist, representing the views of 10,000 constituents speaks to the representative then your views are aired.
By the way, the only reason I bring up spelling is because of your obvious innuendo that anyone who is a Republican is stupid and lower class. At least I can usually spell.

>>>You should be able to donate up to a certain amount as an individual. No unions, no PACS, no corporations, no businesses, and definitely no foreigners. Individuals only. Up to $500, maybe. |
