I have been giving to political causes since the 2000 campaign....and this “CYCLE” (2011-2012) I have given more than I ever have....including money to Presidential candidates (we gave to Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney)...but also to individual candidates all over the country and to some PACs...
I say this just to say while we give in small bits at a time, it does get noticed.
My giving to Mitt in this cycle, to my surprise, has surpassed the amount I gave to Bush in 2004.
We always donate to candidates that we like but we are hounded nearly to death by the Republican party. We do not give to them.
