Just give the money.

If you prefer the gs cookies for some reason that's great.  Can't get them anywhere else cheaper?  Okie dokie.  

Really want that book by Junior?  Go buy it.  Really want that book AND you want to give money to the RNC?  Do both.

But people who want something to donate money always struck me as odd.  And that includes PBS pledge drives or political campaigns.

I donated to one political campaign in my life...I just gave the money.  I wasn't entered into a contest, didn't get a hat or a book.  Basically everything I want to give money to to help I just give the money.

I understand that most of these organizations feel the need to bribe people into participating but it seems dumb to me.

And yes I'd rather give my dumb money to the scouts than a political group.

Some folks can accept reason some cannot
