You can not run a campaign without having a source of money. Thats why people fundraise for their favorite representative in hopes they will win. You have to get your name out there when you are in politics with posters, billboards, commercials, and good press which isn't free. 2.

Does the potential of you getting very sick, maybe even dying from something like the Flu or some sort of transmittable disease frighten you? Do you worry about your health to that level? Has the recent cedar fever outbreak impacted you and caused you to have additional health problems?
I would not say that becoming ill is a big concern of mine, though I do have a very weak immune system. I think life is way to short to constantly worry about getting sick. But maybe thats because I don't feel afraid of death. I believe when its my time to go, I will be ready. And if not, you can't really do anything about it. I accept the fact that I will die, either tomorrow or 50 years down the road. It's fate's choice.
