Who's asking?

During the past several weeks, I have been bombarded by charities, political parties, candidates and causes all asking for one thing: money.

Please give as little as $3...$5...$75. Please come to our charitable event...Only $150...$200...$300...$500 per ticket. Please become my sponsor as I walk(run, bike) to cure (support, raise awareness) for (disease, cause).

Yes, I will sign your petition. I will Occupy Miami. I will volunteer. But -- as interest rates continue to decline -- stop asking me for money. It has already been designated for causes dearer to me.
