The total purchase price of those items is considered a donation to the campaign and is recorded as such. All of these leeches are just trying to make some money from the popularity of the election. I hate that. And those D9 shirts didn't even look that great. I bought a red and white one (says nothing about delta, though), from barackobama.com. If you want to support the candidates, I say cut out the middle man and we can kill the drama about jeopardizing our non-profit status.

Thanks for the insight, Soror.
And of course welcome to the Sisterhood.
I am going to check out Obama's site to see the red and white shirt. I might become an Obama supporter soon. We'll see.
