I don't see the difference between Diana Irey "appearing" here vs. her appearing on Laura Ingram or any other news outlet.

All the encouragements for contributions have come from individuals such as myself, and not from the owner of the site.

Just wondering, when a newspaper endorses a candidate is that considered a campaign contribution?

I really don't see the difference either, but it seems like a good idea to open it up for discussion/consideration.

It used to not be...but after all the campaign finance "reforms" that could have changed. All I know is that the rules are complex and you have to check every minute detail many times over and even then you may be wrong...and good intentions don't count for much.

An endorsement of a politician by a newspaper is a good idea to not read that paper any longer though.
