----- Original Message ----- I would suggest that you contribute your _own activity_ to some activist group, and handle your dollars like any sensible citizen of a capitalist nation. You can dinate to the AFSC, Monthly Review, militant union caucuses, Left Forum, various radical publications (e.g. Socialism and Democracy, Left Business Observer, Historical Mterialism), local or regional anti-fracting groups, etc. As you become politically active you may find national organizations worth your time and money: perhaps a current group (e.g. ISO or Solidarity), a revitalized Greenn Party, or some organization yet to be created.
Put you capital where it will best serve your future capacity to support left endeavors.
