Does anyone on here do this? And if so how much have to donated and to who?

No. Never have and never would. 

I used to......but after watching the state & federal governments pile up the national debt, underfund pensions and give a ridiculous amount of handouts with none of them, left or right, having the integrity to be more fiscally responsible, I stopped with the donations.  That was years ago.

I have never and probably never would. Just curious about who amongst us has and their reasoning behind doing so.

Does giving $3 to general election fund at tax time count ?

Yes. 

I haven’t, but wouldn’t be against doing so if it was someone I knew (friend or family member).  I don’t think I would to anyone else.

I confine myself to liking and sharing their social media posts.  = Free advertising

Oh but we all do every single time we earn a single dollar or make a purchase of any kind.  Taxes.   They pay the salaries of these crooks and help their political endeavors. And of course you have the big private interest "donations”. Any little individual donation from is only moral support, a little more pocket cash,  and validates that we support their corrupt ways

Obviously I am talking about actually sending money directly to a campaign that you support.

Yeah i know.  I was just jotting down some thoughts as to why besides the rare circumstances that you actually know and trust the candidate, i can think of a million and one ways to put that money to a better cause 

but to each his own and i dont care or judge what someone else does with their hard earned money

Ron Paul, Obama, Biden and your mom

I donated to Ron Paul in 2008. No one else. 

I just give it to Act Blue and let them spread it around

Actually I bought a Rand tshirt at his campaign store if that counts

I do think there are people who are conscious of where they spend money based on things like that, and believe if you spend money at place X, you’re essentially donating to them.  I think if you go out of your way to go somewhere due to who they donate to, I would consider it a donation in the sense your talking about (if you’re also paying a greater  premium price).

Not a donation. She earned that money.

Never have never will

I’m kind of surprised that people who post in a political forum don’t donate to candidates.  Wtf??

I pay taxes.  That's enough of a donation
