Quick question about contributions...
1. Is it best to donate to individual candidates or groups like the DSCC or DNC?

2. Im a poor college student and can only afford to donate like 5-10 bucks at time. Think this makes a difference?

3. Any other suggestions...

1. Pick an individual local candidate for your money.
That is where smaller amounts make ALL the difference.

And donating your TIME is even more valuable at that level.

2. Thanks for the advice...
When you say local candidates. Do you mean like state senators and state rep's?

3. Yes!
That is the level you can help MOST at. After that, Congressmen. Senate runs are big deals, and you are unlikely to make that much impact there EXCEPT in the Primaries.
