-- However, when the "powers-that-be" decided how much I should "donate" to be a member of the committee, I basically "threw in the towel". --

What is the fee? How much money, and to whom is it to be paid?

My thoughts are going in two directions at the moment - one, that you might be able to raise the money by "becoming a politician." Your neighbors might contributes, and I am sure that FReepers would. Second, that the demand to "pay to play" might be illegal or against party rules.

Thank you, Cboldt, for your comments.

I volunteered my time, paid the required “dues”, and I purchased a “table” at the annual banquet. But when “they” said executive committee members also had to pay an additional amount of money, I balked.

I do not want to be a “politician”. I could have afforded the extra money, but it pi**ed me off that the money and time I was already contributing was not enough!
