Check the “Presidential Election Campaign Fund” box on your taxes
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
Seems worth a shot. Doesn’t cost you anything.
According to a tax software web site:
The Presidential Election Campaign Fund was set up by Congress in 1973 to help pay the costs associated with presidential elections. Part of the idea was to reduce candidates’ dependence on large contributions and, hopefully, to put everyone on an equal financial footing (so they’d have more time to discuss the issues).
Your contribution comes only from taxes you already owe, so if you make a contribution to the fund, you will not increase your taxes or reduce your refund.

So, this isn’t really a comment to this post, but to your twitter comment on the side re: 80’s game music. I have no twitter (I couldn’t handle the postmoderness of facebook, so twitter is totally out of my grasp). I think you might enjoy my friend Mike’s site, http://www.mysterycircuits.com/
He’s an 80’s nut (has a DEVO tattoo) and make his living building and repairing synthisizers.
