2. Put it in the bank
$50 can make the difference between having food in the house, or rent.

Kerry can take care of himself... and DU just finished their fundraiser.

Take care of YOU first, discressionary stuff later when you can really spare it. ;) :hug:

9. I'm outraged the medium income in this country is @ $22000
Luckily I can spare the 50. I am really liking Kerry over Edwards though if Edwards was to win the nomination I'd support him. I'm leaning towards sending Kerry the 50 because of the story on the http://campaigndesk.org/ website about how much money Kerry is raising compared to bush*.

4. Kerry...please
he needs it now. this is actually a crucial time to define a candidate in the minds of the voters. gop is starting their offensive. clinton eviserated dole right around this time in '96 - he defined him as a gingrich loving gop hack. du will be here a year from now - will kerry?

7. I have to agree with the poster above...
if it's all the spare money you have for a month, hold onto it. If it's money you've already budgeted for political causes, then I'd recommend splitting it up.

23. Spend Wisely?
Yeah, like the 41 million dollars Mr.Fiscal Conservative spent on chocolate truffles, cheese, fancy dinners, Carly Simon and the Bangles, and engraved baseball bats in two states.Way to go Howard. The rich kid peaking out of the phoney populist in the cheap suit.But ,hey, it wasn't his money.

22. Save half and give $25 to
Edited on Mon Feb-16-04 01:59 AM by Stephanie
whoever needs it the most.

There was an article in the NY Times this Sunday about how specifically the candidates are targetting voters. So I was interested when I got a solicition from Kerry. I had previously given $25 each to two different candidates. So my soliciation letter said "if you can give $25, $30, or even $50..."

A letter specifically targetted for me and my donation bracket.

Which is a GOOD thing. People with just a little money to spare should give just a little money. But give, absolutely. That's how we're going to win.

25. DU
could use it more I'm sure. Kerry's wife has alot of money plus Kerry has the backing now of the Democratic Party. I'm now a Kerry supporter and will probably give him money later but if I had to make a choice I would give it to DU.
