How much do you see yourself donating b/w now an November?
To Democratic/liberal groups generally?

I could see between $700 and $1500 myself.

You?

5. I don't care about attending events. I just want
I don't care about attending events. I just want the crook in the White House to go to Crawford for good.

I voted for Kucinich tonight, by the way, and I don't agree with Kerry about plenty of things, but I want Bush out of office.

9. Depends on if any work starts up.
If someone would start building something I'd be in for the max. I gave to Clark out of my unemployment checks and I have given to Kerry once already. My union has over 300 men out right now and it's been off and on since 2001. I don't have the luxury of giving anyone anything at the moment.

10. New CFR rules have me confused...
I have already given the max to a candidate that has since bowed out, am I locked out of donating to Kerry now?

13. Well, that all depends..
On how much I earn. Which isn't much right now.

15. To Kerry?
I can't really afford it (I'm unemployed), so only about $100. But I will definitely wave Kerry signs at busy intersections in October/November and I will definitely vote for him.

21. I think it may be illegal for you to donate
McCain/Feingold banned minors from donating but that part may have been struck down.

24. While I see why they did it
I think it was unfair to have done so. Good luck in any case.

18. I don't have a lot of cash
and frankly the utter, total, and complete lack of graciousness exhibited by a minority of Kerry supporters has left me with little to no desire to fund a campaign in which those people might work. My local Congressional race should be tight and I will split between it and my Senate race. If I am lucky about $50 a piece.

20. Donating it to Congressional campaigns is actually
extremely important, and will likely get more bang for your buck. If you're upset with Kerry supporters, this is an extremely smart way to refocus your energy and resources.

22. Thanks
I realize that. I have given to every nominee since Dukakis. If I don't give to Kerry it will be a first for me as an adult. I gave $70 to Dean despite a poor year financially. If Cafaro is at all competative then she will be getting the lions share of any money I will be giving.
