Forms in our Future

For the first time in my life I donated to a candidate for political office. No, it wasn’t a large sum. (It was $199---one dollar below the level where I would have to fill out those bothersome disclosure forms.)

I haven’t donated before because of a truce with my partner. Most of the time our votes cancel each other out and there’s no point in my sending a check to Hatfield if she’s going to respond with a donation to McCoy. But this time is different. We’re in rare accord on this particular race. She’ll be contributing her $199 soon, and, if we’re still enthusiastic in the fall, perhaps there will be disclosure forms in our future.
