I think this goes into the HILARIOUS grouping. Can you actually imagine even the staunchest Democrat couple about to be married to ask invited friends to contribute to a political figure INSTEAD of a gift? Or for a birthday or anniversary?

If I got an invitation to a wedding, birthday party, or anniversary party with that request, I would roll my eyes, burst out laughing, and still give the usual gift of a gift card to Cody's Road House. Or I might just go to Cody's with my wife and forget about going to their function!

What a crazy idea!
