3. Do you have a list of DNC donors

so we can cross-reference? I'll bet that a lot of these guys donate to both parties to hedge their bets and all that.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major corporations, prominent New Yorkers and President Bush's regular backers are among the donors behind the $64 million raised for the Republican National Convention, the host committee said Thursday.

A list of donors the committee released also includes Democrats and wealthy friends of Michael Bloomberg, illustrating the fund-raising influence of New York's billionaire mayor. Bloomberg was a Democrat before he switched parties to run as a Republican in 2001.

The committee declined to reveal the size of each contribution, but said they range from $2,500 to $5 million — the amount that both David Rockefeller and Bloomberg have contributed as individuals.

6. Sad.

We "little people" have no choice but to organize. I'm doing some work later today and as much as I can from now until I die.
