Well, actually just $100.
If you had $100 to donate to any political campaign or organization where you send it?
You can split up your on donations in any amount, as long as the total does not total more than $ 100. Please add a comment with who you would donate to.

If I Had a Million Dollars...

The sad truth is, if it's just you operating in a vacuum, your $100 isn't going to be significant enough to make a difference in any of the races across the state. I've given out $550 in donations since the primary and I'm not sure that much has made a difference, either.
In an ideal world, everyone's contributions matter, but in the real world, the $100 I've got in my pocket would be less than 1% of the operating budget for even a candidate for state house. So I'll pocket my hundred and hold onto it until the day when I can pool it together with others to make it notable.

I'd wipe my ass with it and flush it down the toilet. It would probably have the same effect.
Kyle-
But if every reader of this blog gave $100, we would be talking in the tens of thousands of dollars.
I could have made the dollar amount to be $500, or a $1,000, or even kept it at one million dollars. Just thought $100 is easy to figure and more doable for the common Iowan.
Having many small donations would be a true grassroots campaign. Your response surprised me since you worked for a candidate running a grassroots campaign that supported getting big money out of politics. You are basically saying why give money when the big money already funds the campaigns.
I didn't expect people to pull out their checkbooks after reading this post, but thought it would be an interesting way to find out what candidates and groups people are supporting.
$50 Culver and $50 Braley
Well, here is what I'd dod with my $100.
$40 to Denise O'Brien
$25 to Selden Spencer
$20 to my local county Democratic Party
$15 to Dave Loebsack
