Really? Isn't it illegal for corporations to donate to candidates? NurseJackie May 2019 #9
Yes it is illegal. It's also illegal for sitting legislators to receive speaking fees, but... George II May 2019 #17
So if the venue or org can't pay the legislator, they can "give free books" to attendees instead? NurseJackie May 2019 #25
Yep. It also raises the book to "best seller status", even though.... George II May 2019 #29
So, when the "best seller" status is artificially raised... it results in more sales? NurseJackie May 2019 #37

Corporations can't donate directly to candidates and individuals can only donate $2,500 per year. ucrdem May 2019 #12
Correction: $2800 this cycle brooklynite May 2019 #22
And $5600 per couple (for the rich folks who might not know). NurseJackie May 2019 #55
More to the point, an individual CAN donate $5600... brooklynite May 2019 #56
Not sure, but I believe the second $2800 can't be received until a candidate becomes the nominee.. George II May 2019 #62
You've always been able to contribute towards both the Primary and GE... brooklynite May 2019 #65
I know, but the money either has to be separated or not solicited until a person is a GE candidate. George II May 2019 #66
I guess we'd have to trust that the candidate keeps accurate records... NurseJackie May 2019 #67
