[Vision2020] KEM on CQE and $$$

Sun Apr 24 08:51:24 PDT 2005

"But who would care anyway?  This is what communities do when there's an 
issue like this.  It's not rocket science, it's not earth-shattering, and 
it's frankly a pretty dull topic." --Keely

Yes Keely. It is a big deal who gives to campaigns. Where have you been? A 
US Senator from Wisconsin won a seat with half the money of his opponent on 
the issue of campaign financing.

There is a reason why people running for county, state, and national office 
have to give a report on who is financing their campaigns. There is a reason 
why people would like to see city offices be required to report 
contributions. Why? Well if I have to tell you. . .

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
