Uh,this does not mean that I have to disclose the twenty mill I gave to Mitt Campaign, does it?

I mean, what is twenty million bucks between friends after all?

I watched and listened with great interest.  Wow, so much there, but as far as my beliefs where CU is concerned I came away with my basic opinion about that it delivers a negative impact to our electoral process remains unchanged.  Note:  I will always have an issue when these type of 'discussions' are limited to members of one specific group within our societal realm.  They can provide (and did) some interesting and needed points, but again, it is from only two people of the same socio-economic and for the most part, same societal (work, interests, education, etc.) grouping.

I do definitely agree about raising the individual's donation ability - as they said, this is still based on decades old financial value data rationales.  I agree wholeheartedly with her about the accounting issue problems (regarding disclosure of contributors) for some entities as it is really a non-issue because it is easily remedied by base accounting practices.

I also do not have a problem, and in fact would probably endorse, keeping records of individual's donations under, say, five hundred dollars -  but not publicly disclosing them unless there was fraud or other unlawful acts.   I know many who fear contributing even small amounts of ten or twenty in case their boss or others check because of some form of, if not retribution, perhaps argument or other issues.

This would be great foundation/topic for blog.

Appreciate the link.
