How to spend our $100 bribe
I apologize if this is mentioned in another one of the threads.

If this passes and we all get sent checks, how do we spend it responsibly? I know I could put it towards many things but I'm pretty sure I would feel guilty for taking the bribe money without spending it on a worthy cause... but who to donate it to? DU? My local dem in 2006? Anybody have suggestions?

1. Both good choices...
No offense to DU, but I'd probably put it towards a good Dem candidate for '06, with an IOU to DU after the elections... And if you don't have a good local Dem candidate who's running, adopt a district from one of your favorite states...

11. Buy $90 worth of IMPEACH BUSH stickers and buttons

and use the last ten bucks to ship 'em to the White House by Certified Mail. Make 'em sign for 'em.

On edit: Oops, meant to post as reply to OP

2. Is it legal to just endorse it directly to them?

I guess if I gotta ask then probably not.

3. Mine will go toward my student loan just as the $300 dollar bribe did.
I won't have an option of where I spend it. Your local Dem seems like a good choice though.

5. Use it against them
Let them fund their own defeat!
Noone was expecting an extra hundred-forward it to a good cause

and if Ohio Dems dont use it to defeat Ken Blackwell, I dont know how they will be able to sleep at night!

10. Just Would Spend It The Same As I Spend Any Other Money.
No real deep thought about it, it'll just go in the bank and be mixed with the other money, and will be spent on whatever purchases my wife and I make.

I mean, Shit, it was our money to begin with right? LOL

12. Gee - with that huge amount of money maybe we can buy
oil company stock. No? Half a share . . . maybe? Maybe we could send it to what's-his-face the Mobil guy towards his retirement. A hundred bucks . . . how insulting.
