8. John Hlinko and Josh Margulies Are Digusting To Do This
Why Hlinko and Margulies start the DraftClark movement anyway - to make a buck or elect a candidate? I can see getting reimbursed for direct costs - but not more than that.

I for one pledged to donate to encourage Clark to run -- to show support for Clark not to increase the DraftClark invoice to the campaign. As soon as Clark announced, I contributed and signed up directly at the campaign. The campaign even asked if I was fulfilling a pledge (showing they appreciated the link between the draft effort and the campaign).

But if Hlinko and Margulies had let people know they were going to seek a finders fee for every pledge - (which in my view would have been far more honorable than their blackmail/hostage approach) - I would have refrained from pledging and simply shown my support directly to Wes Clark.

In fact I would go further - selling the names is a violation of the draft clark privacy policy!
