Should people be limited by how much time they can donate to volunteering for a candidate? How about how many words they can write in favor of a candidate? Why should someone who doesn't have the time to do those things but does have the time to write a check be prohibited from participating in the campaign process?

- crazy1van 13y agoAre you implying that money is unlimited?
