44. I don't think I verified anything ...
I know that Kerry had a fundraising team that worked their tail off after Iowa and that's where the big money came from during the campaign.

Whether anyone is withholding donations now is beyond me. I doubt that anyone is.

PDA is working to raise their own money and it's my understanding that they want to be inclusive of everyone, so I was stunned when they sent out that letter and not happy about it.
