To reiterate, buzz words like small donors, and grassroots, really are meaningless in this election cycle. Even the Center for Responsive Politics conflates donor and donations in this article below. Individual contributions are counted by the FEC when a person has donated one or more times for an amount of money that reaches or exceeds $200.
Many people, myself included, sent donations via credit card on a monthly basis. As soon as the $200 threshold is reached, every donation thereafter, whether $10 or $1000, is counted as an individual contribution. Yet, those amounts still come from one donor. Continue Reading »

Finally, gray skies and a glorious California rain! As one who is in the construction industry, I know there are workers everywhere, scrambling with blue tarps, tie downs and tape. They worked to the last minute. They worry whether that last coating is dry enough. Others are wondering if they will be called in the middle of the night to stop a leak, or have to secure that swing stage banging about in the after-storm wind.
No matter, it’s a glorious rain!
