A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Dear Senator Obama:
Congratulations on running an excellent campaign so far. I’ll make this letter short and sweet.
On the subject of accepting Public Financing of a General Election Campaign?
HELL.TO.THE.NAW.
You gotta be kidding me.
Your grassroots operation is taking in about ONE MILLION DOLLARS A DAY..
And, you’re going to let McCain, who doesn’t have a fundraising pot to piss in goad you into handicapping yourself like this?
HELL.TO.THE.NAW.
You have a public financed campaign – the hundreds of thousands of donors that have given to you.
Say that you continue to not accept lobbyist or PAC money, and be on your merry way.
Let McCain choke on Public Financing.
Sincerely,
rikyrah
