Then the BTC community can send him some funds!

Does he have an official congressional email address?

i like that idea  :D

Be careful how you send it. I ran for office it's a mess you have to disclose and all the crap the FEC has in Washington you have to deal with it's horrible. The best is to create a PAC that can funnel money to the candidates or senators/congressmen you like. The entire process is unconstitutional if you ask me.

I don't think we should be paying Senators just because they support bitcoin. It is legal even?

I agree it needs to be done right, and we have to be careful.

I think I recall somewhere that some politician or candidate in texas was accepting BTC, though he may have been in a grey area.

I also recall that some other ruling was given about donations and BTC

In any event, the ability for donations from anywhere with ease is something that is important to let people express their approval of various political views.

And better to donate to Senators that don't yet support bitcoin .... that's called "lobbying" - just joking :)

Yes.

Unfortunately, yes it is. It's a debate that has been going on for a long long time

This guy wanted the govt to have an internet killswitch:

Remember, he's a politician - the lowliest of creatures in the moral menagerie.

here's hint you cant make such a switch. Sure a part of the internet you could take out but the whole thing. Nope.

I don't think you can.  I'm just saying--Carper is not someone I want to give money to. 

Very nicely put :) and I had no idea he wanted an Internet kill switch - what a tool.

That does it for me, no donation.

ok didn't know that....but has he changed?

Yeah, he's got older ;)

Good point I'll double check before writing him off, I guess it was premature.
