As they say at the website, "Common Cause is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, tax exempt organization, but because we are a lobbying organization, contributions are not tax-deductible." Lobbying.

I would also add there are those seem to have a mistaken belief they are part of the elite, simply because they have contempt. Whether they are willfully ignorant or just stupid really doesn't matter; as long as they don't hold public office. thoughAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04985667747299418582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-41668386805009437552011-03-07T15:46:08.570-05:002011-03-07T15:46:08.570-05:00It's most likely political hardball about anot...It's most likely political hardball about another subject.<br /><br />This article from Politico makes things interesting: http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20110307/pl_politico/50757<br /><br />TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-34650959938308544792011-03-07T14:34:22.579-05:002011-03-07T14:34:22.579-05:00Its frightening to see how the Stupid party and th...Its frightening to see how the Stupid party and the Evil party are becoming more and more like each other.
