RUSH: Just got a note here from Michelle Malkin. ....

"Kerry campaign donors come in all sizes. Kerry told Philbin and Ripa
[Lee] that a woman in New York gave him $385 that her eight-year-old
son had raised, selling homemade campaign buttons, and a six-year-old
in Philadelphia handed over a plastic container with $685 he had
earned selling homemade campaign bracelets."

But according to the AP article, the McCain-Feingold campaign finance
law which Kerry was a co-sponsor of makes it illegal for anyone under
17 to make political contributions! (laughing) So Kerry has
criminalized a couple of kids out there (laughing) according to the
new McCain-Feingold law! Is this just not classic? No, folks, it's not
a big deal. It's just typical of the Kerry campaign. Criminalize a
couple of kids!

Sorry Rush (and Horvath) but nothing illegal happened. The kids collected
these monies from contributors who were *given* the buttons and bracelets in
return for *their* contribution to Kerry. That's the law - as explained to
me when I ran campaign tables for various GOP candidates. Otherwise, the
kids would have had to get pedelars licenses and collected sales tax. I'd
think every fool in the US knew this but apparently not.
