Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Latest Government Actions (NFC) OT

[LarryT (l02turner]

You asked <<what's the process for identifying the sources?>>

The donation request/submittal form has a place where it says <<The 
government requires us to attempt to cllect the following information. 
Name, Address, Employer and Occupation>>

But it's up to the politician to accept the money with or without ther 
blanks filled in.  And who's to say the info provided is actually correct. 
Seems like the fox watching the chicken coup.

I did mail a check on my business account once and it was returned.  But I 
expect if people wanted to make illegal donations there's little to stop 
them save someone on the inside offended by the cheating who reports the 
wrongdoing.

That's why Campaign Finance reform seldom does anything - the legislation 
has no teeth.  If someone were put in jail a year for every illegal dollar 
donated we'd see funding slow waaaay down.  I doubt the donors would like to 
hear the politicians views on how they stop that evil funding.

Take Care,
Larry T
