4. My US Senate candidate
For the past year, every campaign dollar I can manage goes to Rick Noriega to defeat John Cornyn. I was part of the Draft Noriega movement a year ago and I feel it's my obligation and honor to see it through.

The presidential primary, going so long seems to have bled every spare campaign dollar out of the state. If I had more, it would go to my congressional candidate whose running against Culberson, but my congressional candidate is a millionaire who has lots of $$$ and said at the get-go that he would sink as much of his own money in as he needed to, so I say, God Bless him.

Meanwhile, if anyone is so inclined, http://www.ricknoriega.com

7. I sent mine to my aunt on the farm...
..

LOL. Kidding! (just trying to keep up with Breeze54)

I donated to two local Democrats running for office where I live.

And I FINALLY sent in the form and a check to the DSCC from one of those phone pledges..

They called during the primary.. but for some reason I just couldn't get into returning the damn thing during that primary.

I've donated to Obama through one of his member's pages on his website.. but not in June..

I'll be donating this month though through the DU page ~~

12. How about sending some to the election integrity group of your choice?
Many organizations are struggling as they prepare to protect the election, because so much money is going to the campaigns and the gas pump.

Even long-time major organizations are laying off staff and hurting. The smaller, local and state groups are just barely hanging on.

Please -- while you are donating to candidates, throw a few dollars toward whatever election protection or advocacy organization you believe in because if the election is not protected (and if there aren't good strong advocacy organizations around afterward to hold the politicians' feet to the fire no matter who wins) all is lost.

13. It was PFAW renewal time
They were raising money to keep the scotus nominees highlighted in the election. So they got some, as well as Obama.
