I 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 \u00a0push 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)<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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@\u00a9< Off.’) \u00a0So, 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?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
What say you?<\/p>\n
