Probably the least difference between Republicans and Democrats is their methods of raising money for political campaigns.

1) My ideal woud be that no one from out-of-state would be able to contribute to a candidate’s campaign fund.  

    But yes, I do contribute to out-of-state campaigns, just to offset CA and NY money.  And Chinese money.

2) I don’t like campaigns using devices, like surveys, as an excuse to ask for money.  Most surveys are rigged, 

    in that we are merely being asked to parrot-back, what the survey authors want us to chatter back to them. 

    How many surveys offer us the opportunity to actually speak our mind? And who would read them?

3) I get a lot of email from GOP sources, some of which hated Trump in office, but use his name to solicit funds. 

    I don't want my money going to candidates that didn't support Trump while he was in office. Turncoats.  

   

4) Matching funds. I simply don’t believe that a Secret Santa is waiting around to help me contribute to a campaign, 

    and won’t give unless I do. I don’t believe it, and I am insulted that anyone would think that I would fall for that ruse. 

5) I also am at odds with online fundraising sites. On some sites, one must leave a home and or cell phone number to contribute. 

     I recently succumbed to this, and now am getting phone span.  Deep regrets. 

6) Continuing on the solicitation process. Just as food labels have ingredients listed, 

     I would like to know:

     what kind of solicitation program is being used; 

     what percent goes to the candidate, 

     and what percent goes to the fundraising entity.
