Don’t give to a political candidate in 2016. There are millions of dollars being spent in this campaign and the return on investment isn’t all that good. Just think about all the money being spent in this election cycle that could be put to good use to do the most good. There are alternatives and choices that would benefit people in need. Please consider giving to a college, an orphanage, a place of worship or homeless shelter or shelter for women in crisis. The homeless could use some of that to help get back on their feet as well as a unemployed person.
Maybe the best solution for our problems can lie outside of politics and in direct help to those in need. I think the political machine is too big and perhaps our election cycle is too long and too complicated. Democracy is expensive too. Charity and philanthropy are two ways to impact many people quickly. Think about all this as America goes to the polls.

All these candidates have plenty of their own money plus billionaire friends too. I’ll give my money to the food kitchen up the road, a homeless guy lunch, the woman’s shelter, teen crisis center and the hospital burn center. Oh and the Ronald McDonald children’s hosue. Thanks 🙂

It is sad. On the one hand the less everyday people give the more power the one billionaire donator has. On the other hand, I don’t know that even if all gave that the one billionaire wouldn’t still have more power than us collectively. They have on face and one agenda. Its human nature to give more credence to that when considering priorities.
We need to seriously reconsider the money / donations for elections. Its an embarrassment. When people are homeless, sick and starving…

I totally agree with you, Tony. Giving them is simply like throwing a handful of sand into an ocean. Meanwhile, that could make a difference in the life of a poor homeless person.

I’ve felt the same way about this! My money could be better spent on someone who really needs it, not that I have a lot of extra money or anything. Well said.
