MARK M ALDRIDGE - Donations why?           a.userlink { color: #000000; } a.userlink:visited { color: #25120d; } a.userlink:hover { color: #25120d; } font[size="1"] { font-size:10px; } font[size="2"] { font-size:13px; } font[size="3"] { font-size:16px; } font[size="4"] { font-size:18px; } font[size="5"] { font-size:24px; } font[size="6"] { font-size:32px; } font[size="7"] { font-size:48px; } .GuestBookMessage { font-family: Times New Roman; color: #25120d; font-size: 13px; } .GuestBookMessageRow { font-family: Times New Roman; color: #25120d; font-size: 12px; } .GuestBookHeader { font-family: Times New Roman; color: #25120d; font-size: 12px; }                                                                                         Donations are something in the last 12 years I have never asked for, the button on the front page seems to be stuck there and gives the impression I give it priority, this is not the case.I am self employed and my wife and I run a Native Wildlife Sancturary, which we self fund, we also spend money very wisely on helping those in need, given that I have devoted so much time to helping others and trying to defend my electorates rights, liberties and long term future, I am having some difficulties making ends meet.                                                             Any funds donated will be firstly used to pay the expense of my candidature, then any excess will be used to create community awareness to current and proposed legislation, as the government seem un-willing to do so.Our government have become so arrogant they do not believe we should either be involved or even that we would understand their Ideals for our future, democracy is all about the will of an informed electorate, so have they got something to hide?I will not waste either my funds or any donations on Vote 1 Posters, junk mail or advertising, only on the payment to the electoral office to enable me to run and on publicity of Government Legislation, as well as awarness programs relating to our voting rights and our choices of candidates.
