I did not realize that Kerry's middle initial was "F." It almost makes a Republican shudder. * * *

Kerry accepts no corporate soft money or union money as you can see on johnkerry.com and the Campaign Manager said they're not accepting PAC money. If he lied to me or you're wrong, so be it, but where did you find this? I'm going to ask the Kerry Campaign about it if you can provide a reliable source. From johnkerry.com Please pick a contribution level. $35.00 $50.00 $100.00 $150.00 $250.00 $500.00 $1,000.00 Other Amount Please feel free to fill in an amount up to $1,000.00 Please confirm the following: I am not a foreign national who lacks permanent residence in the United States. This contribution is made from my own funds, and not those of another. This contribution is not made from the funds of a corporation, labor organization or national bank. I am not a federal contractor. This contribution is made on a personal credit card or debit card for which I have the legal obligation to pay, and is not made either on a corporate or business entity card or on the card of another person. I am at least eighteen years

Kerry PAC money - new 2002 change will accept from certain sources up to $10,000 only as per campaign finance reform laws. I think that ended in November. "But Edwards isn't the only potential White House contender using a leadership PAC to his advantage. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.)-who, like Edwards, resisted PAC contributions for years-recently founded his own PAC, the Citizen Soldier Fund. Since January, the PAC has raised more than $250,000". My apologies for any inaccuracy. As you can see though, limiting to $10,000 makes certain no one can buy policy from him. It's relatively small change. Compare to some of the $500,000 chunks of soft money Bush-Cheney have taken by the truckload from corporations, which do and have in fact buy policy. I am going to clear this up with the campaign as finance laws have changed since November. After all I am going to be raising money for Kerry so I'd better know. Isn't PAC money illegal after Nov? $2000 limit now I think unless it's the candidate's own money. That's where Kerry will have a serious advantage, even over Bush, if he wants to use his own funds. One of the reasons Kerry is going to win.
