iWanted to make a contribution to your campaign just now, Hillary, but i noticed that there is no place on your contribution page for me to make a comment to go along with my contribution:
https://contribute.hillaryclinton.com/form.html?sc=1659&utm_source=1659&utm_medium=e
How am i supposed to believe that my voice will be heard when i am not even allowed to say anything to u WHILE i am giving u my money?
And it isn't just u, Hillary; iWitnessed the same approach being taken by the Obama campaign:

It is as if u are promising to give us fair taxation, and u are promising to give us fair representation, but u are unwilling or unable to provide us fair taxation WITH representation.!!.
!?
W hat is this, the "Just shut up and give!!" approach to campaigns.?.
H
A
T hat doesn't seem very much like democracy to me.!.
?!
It does, however, remind me of how, back in 2007, when iWanted to relinquish a lifetime of status as an Independent voter in order to finally be able to vote in a Primary election by finally joining the Democratic Party, UNTIL i found at that the votes weren't going to be counted in my home state of Florida.!.!.
What kind of Party is that!? That ain't no Party!! That ain't even no Disco Party ;@!!@;
I would like to EITHER be able to say, "I'd rather have Hillary" OR else hope to hop on the O-Train to a better tomorrow, but instead i feel u are asking me to mortgage my last piece of property on Mediterranean Avenue in order board the H&O Railroad so that u can lock up your Park Place in history on a Board Walk of fame & glory up and down Pennsylvania Avenue.
iAm INSTEAD resolved to continue considering my OTHER options...
PS/1: The original comment was to be short, if not sweet. Here it is: What EXACTLY would u be willing to PUT ON THE TABLE so We Independents don't cast our votes elsewhere.?.
PS/2: iLike what Ralph Nader has just PUT ON THE TABLE via the votenader.org website...

Catch The Falling Sky and Ride It to the Ground !?
Doctor Hu:
Neige Three Gorges Dam is about 600 feet high chabuduo, right? And that height (plus elevation plus water volume) is essentially what gives it hydroelectric gravitational power, right??
Well, let's compare that to some other very high structures in order to illustrate a point. The Taipei 101, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Sears Tower in Chicago, the Jin Mao Building in Shanghai, the TIFC in Hong Kong, the CITIC plaza in Guangzhou, Shun Hing Square in Shenzhen, the Empire State Building in New York, Central Plaza in Hong Kong, and the BoC in Hong Kong are EACH at least twice that high. The Petronas Twin Towers stand over 2.5 times higher, reside in a region that receives nearly 100 inches of rainfall each year, and bear a footprint of, perhaps, 35,000 square feet per tower (x2).
And yet, not a single one of these structures produces a single calorie of their own power.
Isn't it possible that instead of looking further out over the horizon into the last few remaining depths of untapped natural resources amongst the unspoiled wilderness, perhaps we should instead be looking farther up into the verizon with an eye towards maximizing the usage of ALL of the readily available renewable energy resources at the point of usage.?.
This way, we may at the very least defray the amount of imported and transported energy types that the high-density communities surrounding superscrapers consume, not just with integrative solar photovoltaics for when it is sunny, but also with hydroelectric energy for when it is raining, and also wind power for the times in between.
This approach can be especially useful when structures are built so high that the wind will always blow strong and consistent at their top up in the atmosphere, regardless of the relative windspeed and condition of the surrounding terrain at ground level of the below.
In addition, this approach offers the advantage of allowing us to move our initial point of water management up on the vertical axis, thereby enabling us to more effectively manage, filter, and distribute it throughout the agricultural, potable, and reclaimed water systems more effectively.
Perhaps it is high time we welcomed Our Falling Sky with open arms and waiting mouths.
