| 156. Yeah. They can't donate |
|
Individuals who work for corporations can donate. They donate to Edwards too. Not as many donate to Edwards because he's a loser. If Edwards could get more money from them he'd take it in a hot minute. Look on the donation tracking site. Edwards got money from all kinds of corporate people.
How are you getting screwed? If corporations make out so well, start one and use the barrels of cash you bring in to promote John Edwards.
