Another way to spend cash and influence people

March 28, 2008 | 11:55 am

And, it should be pointed out, avoid federal spending limits.

The folks at VoterVoter.com have gone live with a website that lets you upload your own ad for a candidate or a cause, or to chip in money to buy airtime to place an already existing ad. You can even target where it will air, giving you a chance to break into that Jamestown, N.D., market.

VoterVoter.com is nonpartisan and for-profit. It's a subsidiary of WideOrbit Inc., whose investors include the Hearst Corp., which means a media company has a stake in a web company that lets people buy air time through media companies. Which is vaguely reminiscent of all those  X and Y physical characteristics charts from high school biology.

But we digress. VoterVoter.com takes a 15% cut of the air time purchase for placing the ads, so getting your voice heard out there in the chorus of democracy isn't cheap. But then, you knew that.

Watch all those anti-liberal rich making $75000.00 plus,
rush to spend their lazy-earned dollars on this voter voter
milking outfit to save their god given priviledges.
