I don't want the Republicans to have a dime of my money. After Senator Obama opted out of public financing - they should make it the norm for all. Can you say which party it goes to?

May it's because baloons subliminally represent blowhards, and the party message: We beat the other guys, now we can have fun. I wonder why they like parties and baloons so much?

Besides, the national committees are now using loopholes in the campaign finance laws to raise money anyway so the whole thing is no longer viable.

I have never checked that box, or would ever check any box that GIVES the govt. ANY money!!! I can't understand why anyone would, but they must. They should pay for their own conventions, not the taxpayers. Drew, thanks for the post.

This little box has backfired. So, who is accountable? Drew/AC360:

Also, why can't those BIG OIL Exec's reduce their salaries from $20 billion a year to just a mere $10 billion and maybe we could get the price of gas back down to the price per gallon we paid in the 1960's.

I don't check that box - never have and never will. The State of Alabama has a full page of boxes you can check and that they hope you will check - itemized into giving state parks money, education, native americans, etc. etc. Only thing is that if you check one of those boxes and designate an amount it comes out of whatever refund you might have coming back to you and if you owe money then you owe that much more. I don't check those boxes either. Stingy I guess - or just disgusted that with all the money I pay in taxes they have the nerve to beg for more. <a href="http://anniekatec.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Annie Kate</a> Birmingham AL Drew
