Old and In the Way

One Donantion - many beneficiaries.

Here's what I'd like to see the Democratic Party do (the Republican Party should try this as well (LOL)).

Make one place on the web to manage my politics and spending on a single portal. Based on my living location, I can see who my national/state/local Party Reps are...and I can split that single or recurring monthly payment on a % basis to whomever I'm interested in supporting.

And I want to recalibrate/change my donation total on an ongoing basis - $ and % - as I see fit....within reason. A financial vote, if you will, on the people who I think represent my values within the Part spectrum?

Why doesn't the Democratic Party build such a beast?

We haven't done it because we Democrats are just too much like cats...you know, we each want to go our own direction.

And I'd never want to see the Republicans do it......they would succeed beyond their wildest dreams, and have way too much money.

have another heart. I was looking up some of those who were around for last Spring's rumbles in Meta, and thought of you. Happy Valentine's Day!

Btw, that's a very good idea too!
