questionImageI typically keep my posts about politics and my political beliefs to my personal Facebook. However, I will admit that I have been on a constant  push to put all my content creation onto this blog. I have described it as “All things ‘Lord Andrei’.” As a result, I hope I don’t frighten off too many “Sing Off” followers. Please feel free to punt to the next post if you prefer (My Episode 6 analysis will be up later today)

The good news is that this political question is not biased to any party or most of the standard issues that people have fiery debate over. So hopefully I can this question and get some responses to help me see how people feel.

I receive many emails from different political organizations and different politicians to make contributions. Some of those politicians or organisations are outside my voting sphere of influence. Examples of this are a senator for a state other than my own or a group raising money for an initiative or proposition that doesn’t affect where I live.

So the question is… Should I be contributing money to a race that doesn’t affect me. Let’s be honest here. When writing a senator from another state they are really fast at turning around a letter that says, “You’re not one of my constituents” (Which means, ‘You don’t vote for me; F@©< Off.’)  So, should we be putting our support into candidates and issues outside our areas of voting influence; or should we be encouraging those affected to do so and keep our finances out?

I’m often on the fence about this. I tend to lean towards the fiscally conservative side saying that if I can’t vote on it, I shouldn’t be putting my money in on it.

What say you?
