I do know. The answer is no. As a matter of fact, most
Democratic fundraisers are paid a fee/salary that is
constant. It does not change with increase amounts
raised or goals missed. It's different on the
Republican side and some non-profits. If these kids
were really from the DNC, they are paid some kind of
low monthly stipend or are volunteers who are
reimbursed expenses.
It's not about the money, it's about grassroots
support idealism.
Yes, the Farmer's Market recently received about 1
million dollars from the St Paul taxpayers. Ask the
manager did he care about politics when he came to St
Paulites with is hat in his hand looking for a million
dollars. The 'stench' was sweet green back then.
For those who want to get away from being 'bothered'
while shopping fruit, you always got Cubs and Rainbow.
It's inside on private property.
Happy Fourth!
