    I do donate to my profession's political action committees because I guess I kind of figure money talks and might as well do what I can to have my voice heard some way that I can. IT's somewhat expected anyway.

    As far as indivudual politicians, no I never have, but maybe if I really really wanted one elected. Just haven't - LOL.

    There was actually a clean money campaign out year (probably still is) I devoted money and time to, to try to limit contributions candidates could take in California, it just feels so much like big corporations are controlling politics and I Feel something like that was a VERY worthy cause. So I am more likely to put money to issues and processes than candidates overall. I would probably be more likely to volunteer time than money if there was a candidate I really felt strongly about.

      Absolutely not.

      Giving money to political campaigns result in the following:
      1) Annoying TV commercials.
      2) More Junk mail.
      3) Annoying phone calls.

      Why would I want to pay money for that?

      Besides, they all lie to you anyhow. If they told you the truth most people wouldn't vote for them.

        No. I'll donate when they will vote in the same kind of benefits that they have. Especially the health insurance program they have.

          Never.

          I used to care, but not any more. I now understand why over half the country doesn't bother voting. It doesn't matter who is in power, it's all the same BS. Argue whatever side the other party stands for.
