in a really, really long time. I donated money to the Romney campaign. I figured it was time for me to have some skin in the game.

I donated money to PBS so Romney can't turn Elmo into military-issue earmuffs.

Good to hear this. I gave some about 2 months ago and every since I did, I have been re-asked for money from EVERYBODY. Ann Romney,all the sons, our Gov.., La.'s Gov., Rand Paul, and several candidates for office from other states in competitive races, all Republican of course. See if you experience this too.

Little known fact: the private sector is actually a vast network of crime syndicates. The government needs our help to take it down.

Somehow I'm already on all of those email lists. I didn't give a whole lot but just wanted to help out. My wife and I usually go out to a nice dinner once a week, we are going to forgo that for a month.

They sell them. For profit. I'm sure they'll do just fine without my tax dollars.

Good for you RJ. I went with FreedomWorks a month ago; they do the serious groundwork toward local elections. They are the reason for the Senate takeover, Governorships, State Legislatures, redistricting advantage, etc.
And they will be the force that holds Romney's feet to the fire, in case he goes wobbly.

I saw that and was surprised but apparently if you don't live in a swing state you have to buy them.

I live in a swing state, and I got my bumper sticker from the campaign for free. (I do get a ton of follow-up mail, but I anticipated that and used a rarely-used Yahoo account to request the bumper sticker. I don't care how much spam I get there.)

This. I haven't been able to answer my phone since the SCOTUS decision on healthcare. Worst decision ever. Not because of who I supported, but because now they know I exist.
