Nothing But Net

在一場名為 Money in Politics 2009: New Horizons for Reform 的研討會，Michael Malbin 發表了一份關於歐巴馬募款的研究報告，
SMALL DONORS, LARGE DONORS AND THE INTERNET:The Case for Public Financing after Obama。有一個有趣的問題是，要仰賴小額募款，需要能見度（捐款人數），但是在選舉初期，這個能見度可能就需要靠少數人的大額捐款來打開市場。所以，這是先有雞、還是先有蛋的問題嗎？

不過他們真正想要做的，其實是選舉制度的改革（公費選舉?）。不只是反貪腐，更要支持正面的力量（在哪啊....@$#%$!&）。

今天又收到一封歐巴馬來要錢的電子郵件，捐五美元就可以抽就職典禮入場券：

Between now and January 8th, 10 supporters and their guests will be selected to join the Inaugural activities.

If you make a donation -- in any amount -- to make the Inauguration a success, you and a guest could be flown to Washington, D.C., put up in a hotel, and be there as Barack is sworn in as the 44th President.

Make a donation of $5 or more right now. You and a guest could receive your ticket to history.
