Peter Koechley Keeps Hitting Me Up for Cash

I was just wondering how everybody feels about being solicited almost daily by MoveOn.org, if you are. If not, they’re asking for a lot of money… I know money helps a lot, and that as a government you need money to do things, but is this one of the side effects of having a campaign that wasn’t financed by lobbyists? Are American Democrats effectively replacing the financial role of lobbyists? I’m all for government of the people, by the people, for the people… and I understand the value of not owing favors to large corporate institutions… but I guess I didn’t realize the financial vacancy that would need to be filled. Of course, there’s a good chance I’m misunderstanding the whole situation… any thoughts?
