[EL] One Dollar, One Vote

Money talks, but money isn't speech? Just want to make sure I have my memes
straight.

Last Spring I did a campaign for Los Angeles Community College District
Board of Trustees. The districts covers the entire City of Los Angeles and
36 other cities. Our total expenditures came to $55,000. The opponent was
part of a "slate" of candidates backed by a  $500,000 campaign operation. We
won by 1,121 votes. Money talks sometimes but not all the time. This wasn't
the first time I won an election while being out spent. In every campaign
there comes a point when spending become surperfluous. Sometimes you're
lucky enough to know when you've reached that point. All that being said,
I'd still rather have the money.

            The money primary:

 

            Bush spent much more in Iowa than Cruz, Trump, and Rubio
combined.  Bush amassed 3 percent of the vote, while the impoverished three
eked out a total of only about 75 percent.

 

            Money talks!

 

                      Best,
