Wow, that's really interesting. I can see who not to vote for, thanks. I don't have a problem with the non-profit campaign dollars like the teachers giving money.Vote John Edwards - Individual contributions 99%

Why would health professionals donate to Hillary? I thought everybody says socializing health care will make it so doctors will get get paid "badly" and have to work in such god-awful conditions?
