"compared to about $180 million raised by Republicans, the majority of it in money from smaller donations that can go directly to support candidates"
Let's not forget that the 10-20-50 dollars can go directly to helping the candidate of our choosing. Better impact, direct usage.
That is where I draw the line. I will not donate to any politician directly. Instead I make regular donations to the National Rifle Association, the Second Amendment Foundation, and Gun Owners of America.
If the politicians want my contribution, then they can darn well stay on the right side of the gun issue!
