If they gave it voluntarily, why is that a bad thing, DM?

The problem in the Volpe case was that the kids were being used as conduits -- the money clearly wasn't theirs. But there really are kids around that age interested (and active) in politics -- my then best friend and I actively campaigned for Nixon (shudder!) in the '60 campaign, at age 12. (He's still conservative -- I'm obviously not!) But there are lots worse things a kid could be spending time (and their money) on at that age!

When I was 12.....

.....I volunteered for McGovern, manning a table selling bumper stickers, etc.

When I was 11 I went to Washington, DC (with my Mom) to participate in an antiwar demonstration.

So I don't find the idea in and of itself unbelievable.
