Haven't read the posts yet, so maybe this has already been addressed, or maybe I've misunderstood:

I really disagree with the "not being able to contribute to a political campaign if you're not residing in that state".

US Congressmen and women effect us all, no matter where we live.

If people want to pile on to support Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer's, etc. opponents then I am all for it.

I'm pretty sure that's what helped propel Brown into the public eye, donations from outside of MA.

Did I misunderstand the message?
