It's your last chance to write some checks to members before Session.
Whip out the checkbooks, PAC chairs and Tallahassee lobbyists, for this week begets a handful of fundraisers for legislative candidates.
State law prohibits legislators from raising money during the 60-day Session, so the eve of Tuesday’s gaveling-in of the annual lawmaking period will be busy with one last chance to raise money before they start the people’s business.
Conveniently, many will take place just a few hundred feet from the Capitol offices:

Individuals and groups (PACs) should be donating to, spending their money on, and working for causes meant to advance the interests of animals. Politics, by its nature, uses the force of government and financial power to maneuver the system to achieve ends that serve specific populations and to ensure the politician’s own power, re-election, and often, wealth. Politics divides-it doesn’t unite. Animals are innocent, have no ulterior motives, are dependent, and lack power. If people are, in fact, the more sentient of the two, they should understand that fact. Don’t attend the fundraisers meant only to aggrandize the candidate. Public office is not, nor should it be, a life’s work or gravy train. Spend your money and time on something genuinely worthwhile.
