		<description>I am seeking web partner for enabling Political MicroDonation (under $1). FAQ &amp; Proof of Concept at www.Chagora.com 

Political MicroDonation is an essential element for re-balancing the civic marketplace.

Keys to its creation:

*MicroDonation with unified accounting and reporting for both sides for charity and cause-based entities (any legal contribution from mere pennies to legal limits)

*Electoral/Geographic Networking Facilitators

*Related Live Elements

CHAGORA MUST be non-partisan, transparent, secure, trustworthy and EASILY available to all!

Most people NEVER give to a cause or campaign....

THEY WILL!

From USA TODAY Sept 19: 
&quot;Among the nation&#039;s top political donors since 1989 are 10 of the nation&#039;s biggest banks and investment firms (who)showered lawmakers, parties and candidates with $170 million. While the money flowed, financial institutions generally got what they wanted.&quot; 

$170 Million dollars!  A lot of money! We can&#039;t possibly compete with that!

REALLY?

The POWER of SMALL money, LARGE numbers &amp; Immediate Feedback that may not have occurred to you - POLITICAL MICRODONATION!</description>
