How much could it cost? I assume the shipping could cost a bit but chickens seem to be fairly inexpensive. As a political donation shouldn't it be deductible?


Wouldn't it be fun to have a dozen or so live chickens show up at her campaign headquarters every day for a couple of weeks? Cruelty to animals, I know, still it would be fun for us.

6. Not Baby Chicks!!! Even I couldn't do that to them
they are cute and I am a typical hypocritical human who applies double standards to animals based entirely on their appearance.


We need full grown chickens that have been crapping in a box for 2 days delivered to her.

4. not worth it
... it would possibly be cruelty and as one who loves my chickens, it would not be fun

the problem is that Ms. Lowden does not understand what she is talking about; barter does not equate with cost effectiveness or reform... it is merely an alternative way to pay.

I bartered payment for midwife's fees for all of my children, but I am an exception and the concept is absurd on a large scale.
