How many of us have ever been paid for our campaign volunteer time? Give the folks credit for actually paying the little guy to work on a campaign.

I know that several times over the years the College Republicans have been asked to come out to volunteer and would receive 50.00 a day. Seems like they have to get the manpower somewhere, and when a campaign (or party) lacks people willing to volunteer, they have to be willing and able to pay.

(i'm not in atlanta--but i know the scott's elicit strong feelings from folks and i know clayton county politics are colorful and rough and tumble--so i'm not even commenting on that just on the t-shirts and 85 bucks...) i’m not a lawyer thankfully–but on the surface this sounds like a solicitation for temp workers basically–unions pay people to picket–for example–if they file the expenditure in their reports why couldn’t they offer money to “volunteers” to work for them…this seems more benign to me than alot of things that go on…

Those T-shirts are bound to be collectors items when one or both of them go to prison. How can you post something like this and not give a link to where we can sign up?
