Well the DCCC just called me for money. And I sent them a check

[SaveElmer]

Cause you know...I'd like to get some Democrats elected this time...

[Earth_First]

1. Is this necessary? n/t

[SaveElmer]

3. Yes electing Democrats is necessary...

So I send money to the DSCC and the DCCC and the DNC, and to individual candidates...any channel I can use to support Democratic candidates I take...

2. Hey, I thought we only complained about Democrats around here.

What gives?

[Pirate Smile]

4. Good for you.

My blood pressure just went down a notch thanks to your thread. ;-)

[SaveElmer]

7. Glad I could help...

5. Why not give money directly to the candidates instead?

To each his own, as for me I don't give soft dollars to anyone anymore.

[SaveElmer]

6. I do both...

Like I said any channel I can use...

And in my opinion the DCCC has done a very good recruitment job this year, and I want to support their efforts...

8. they aren't soft dollars

they are hard dollars. Soft money has been banned unless you give to a 527.

9. Right call I got a call from the DNC they wanted my money. I asked

how much would be given to David Van Os. They said "Who"?
I said David Van Os "The Peoples Democratic Candidate for AG of TX."
She said "Who"?
I said "David Van Os the Democratic candidate for TX Attorney General the most powerful elected office in TX."
She said "Who"?
IO said "I give all my money directly to Liberal Candidates who represent ME".

No thanks. If this is the company Shumer keeps, I do not trust him with any of my money.
