[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1321227, member: 8035"] Just out of sheer curiosity, do any of you have any experience working on political campaigns? If so what is the best way to raise funds? Call me crazy, but I'm thinking of running for something in the next few years. I'm just tired of sitting around complaining about a broken system without trying to fix it. While the best way to raise lots of cash may seem like attracting donors with deep pockets, that isn't my style. In my humble opinion, many politicians are too worried about making decisions that favor a select few individuals or powerful groups to consider what's best for the public at large. In a perfect world, it seems like a civic leader shouldn't know who donated how much money to his/her campaign if they want to stay true to their entire constituency. I suppose this means I'd tend to favor a "grass roots" style of campaign. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
