I am swamped with donation requests from scores of groups. So I ask, why donate money to an individual cause rather than direct that money to help elect candidates who would steer government policy towards that supported by those same groups?
Is $100 better spent sent to a group that promotes environmental protection or to a candidate likely to support that same aim?
It seems to me that the greatest bang for the buck is in devoting resources to the people who make the decisions. Isn’t this the proven logic of special interests and lobbyists?

evolved out of his business experience that the best decisions come out of an objective gathering of information and a pragmatic consideration of costs and benefits. I am interested in promoting Centrist candidates and Policies. My posts are mostly about people and policies that I believe are part of the solution rather the problem.
