This is an astonishing piece of journalistic digging.

$11 million to candidates and campaigns out of $282 million donated and paid to Mothership Strategies, is less than 4% of the money raised going to the cause for which it is donated.

By contrast and for comparison, all of the charity rating agencies such as GuideStar, Charity Watch, Give.org, the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance and others ... will flag a charity that solicits donations the general public and doesn't spend at least 60% of the money raised on the cause for which is was raised.

My wallet is certainly closed to Democratic fund-raising until this mess is cleaned up.

I'll still give, but from now on, only to the individual candidates' campaign committees and to specifically linked initiative committees.
