A funny thing happened when I donated to Organization for America just now......
Edited on Sat Jan-23-10 09:56 AM by secondwind
this was an appeal for signature on a petition to keep elections fair in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling .......

Then they asked for a donation. So I filled out the blocks, and gave a donation........

I then had to check off a box that states that I am a U.S. citizen or at least a legal resident. WAIT A MINUTE!


For my lousy $10 donation to O for A, I have to declare that I am a CITIZEN. But corporations (with foreign nationals on their boards) can run ADS??????


The IRONY is mindboggling.

1. Double standard.
The Treasonous Five are going to have to be dealt with. The highest court in the land is corrupt and that cannot be allowed to continue.

2. The answer is obvious.
If you're not a citizen, create a corporation for the sole purpose of making political donations.

3. You could also run a $10 ad.
No one would ask you if you were a citizen.
