campaign donations

For those of you who think we spend all day ferreting through campaign finance reports trying to nail wrongdoers -- we don't (although you are certainly welcome to). We're trying to educate people on the wholesale abuses of money and power now considered to be business as usual in our electoral system and change that system. We're not trying to stop legitimate campaign donations or make candidates afraid to approach their friends for contributions. But it can be incredibly frustrating trying to get a message out in these short attention span times, especially when the short attention spans *start* with media reporters.
