Okay, here's my plan. Whenever I see a nasty, personal or unfair attack
against either Obama or HRC from a supporter of the other candidate, I'm going to donate a small sum of money to the person who is attacked.

Once a month, I'll add the amounts up and send the amounts to the candidates. It will help me feel, in a tiny way, that I'm righting a wrong.

I like both Obama and Clinton and I don't find them very different on the issues. I'm sure people will tell me this is a dumb way to allocate my political contributions, but that's okay. I can deal with that.

1. You are my kinda gal, pnwmom! And once have our nominee, we should do the same when the Repugs
start their swiftboating. Maybe create a website listing our $$$ pledges to publicly show that's how we'll respond to unfair attacks.

6. I said "small amount." I have cash that I could be using to make
monthly donations, and this will help me figure out how to allocate it.

As I've said, I'm neutral with regard to Obama and Clinton -- they both have their pluses and minuses.

9. But I am limited by how many I happen to read.
I don't go around looking for them, but sometimes they do jump out at me.
