Go for it. You got plenty outraged by Obama challenging bogus petition signatures. Here's your chance to challenge the legitimacy of his contributions. I haven't supported any candidate except Obama and my local Congressman, who is running for Senate. But I'm inspired by Obama's 1.5+ million individual donors, Obama rejecting PAC and lobbyist money, and then getting the DNC to take the same pledge. I'm happy to keep contributing to his general election campaign and you are welcome to verify that I'm just an individual supporting my candidate. Well, Silho, it's all public. Go for it.

I agree with Obama. Equality is paramount.

The latter is the whole point.
