Me, I ran for UA VP, and I was an ASA officer for two years.
And I ain't aiming to "overthrow the system" with my $10 donation, I'm
just aiming to tweak the noses of the uptight. Tweak tweak.

I've already given to the ACLU for the year.

PS By the way, Josiah is a bulldog; I have faith that if he's elected,
he'll keep pressure on the admins or the UA or whoever is in the
way 'till they give or hell freezes over. So if he says he's
working on system transparency, I'd give him better odds than most.
Thus, if he and Parul will take it, if they win, I'll donate my $10
to them to spend along with the Bush fund on whatever they deem
appropriate.
