A Gift Suggestion for a Meaningful Gift.

[The Lone Liberal]

Just a thought this morning, but what if instead of becoming consumers without brains this year we gave a real gift. What if we donated the money we were going to spend to our favorite Democratic candidate and do it in the name of the person we were going to give the gift. What better gift to give them is there than a chance at a new government. Just a thought. Besides, if the recipient is a neo-con wing nut, what better way to get in a small gig. LOL

1. Hee hee....but one caveat

You can't legally contribute to federal candidates in someone else's name.
(Otherwise, a rich Republican business owner could contribute $2,000 in each of his employees' names and avoid the contribution limits.)

You could, however, unofficially donate to a candidate in someone's honor -- your name would end up on the disclosure form, and you'd have to let the honored party know what you did.

But it's a bang-up suggestion nonetheless.

2. Interesting idea (with the caveat of the legal technicality)

if I want to be disowned by those of the family who have gone over to the dark side.
