Guess: Who Got Most Local Contributions?

Residents of Dallas and Hiram have given to Republican presidential candidates much more than the total $605 Barack Obama has received.

We won’t find out until this evening which presidential candidate earned the most votes from Paulding residents heading to the polls, but in terms of campaign donations, one person has come out on top—Newt Gingrich.

Based on campaign contributions made though Jan. 31 as reported by the Federal Election Commission, residents in ZIP codes 30132 and 30157 (Dallas) and 30141 (Hiram) gave $13,122 to presidential candidates for the 2012 election cycle.

No Hiram residents contributed to President Barack Obama, but Dallas donors gave the sitting president $605—more than the donations Republicans Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann received from both cities. Republicans in all received $12,517 in contributions from residents of the three ZIP codes.

Here’s how much each candidate has received:

  • Newt Gingrich—$3,025
  • Rick Perry—$2,500
  • Rick Santorum—$2,500
  • Herman Cain—$2,040
  • Ron Paul—$1,734
  • Barack Obama—$605
  • Michelle Bachmann—$468
  • Mitt Romney—$250

I am torn on this decision. Even though homosexuality is a sin, it is no greater a sin than lyingRead More or cheating. If the troop had boys who were not Christian & they were committing those sins then that sin was being brought into the church. I think Christians need to remember that no one sin is greater than another. I think the parents of the boy scouts would have to determine if they wanted their child to participate in the troop if their was a homosexual in their group. However, the church hosted the Boy Scouts upon a certain charter. When that charter was changed then the church has the right to decide if they want to continue the association. I know of other churches that ended their hosting of Boy Scouts last year because the group was becoming too politically polarizing & they felt that conflicted with the ministry of the church. It is a fine line with views on both sides but I feel each church has to decide what is best for them...it is after all their facilities.

Do we not remember who Jesus surrounded himself with? Don't believe for one minute that there is notRead More one homosexual in your congregation, or for that matter an adulterer, a fornicator, a thief, a liar, the list goes on. And if you are a real stickler, any divorcee that has dated or remarried is committing sin every day. I do not believe in the gay lifestyle but I do believe in what good the boy scouts do. Shame on you for abandoning them when they need you the most
