professional lobbying organizations with warchests in the hundreds of
thousands if not millions.

let me try to tackle this one real quick milton..

given the materiality of the contributions requested, this seems to me and
many others like simple whining!!
educational institutions, non-profit foundations etc. are all funded in
order to make them viable & effective. for almost 2 years now we keep
getting what seems to be "lame" excuses about the ability of this
constituancy to come up with $5000.   it just isnt going to fly that far
milton. in fact  it just doesnt make sense  !!

get some of these heterogeneous organizations you talk about here to
contribute. it certainly is a "cause & an advocacy" worth fostering .. isn't
it ?
