    Kent Cooper, a campaign-finance expert and former Federal Election Commission official, admits these contributions are "a little strange and unusual."

    cooper needs to read up on his property law. nothing beyond estate management and execution of wills going on here. it's only unusual to someone that doesn't know anything about a fundamental aspect of the american legal system (wills & trusts).
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    You seem to be confusing unusual with illegal.....

    how so?

    are these contributions unusual because they are uncommon? perhaps. i don't know how frequently estates are thusly managed.

    are they unusual because they come out of a seldom utilized and relatively alien aspect of law? hardly. anyone with enough property and/or heirs probably knows about wills and estate law. and if they don't, their lawyer does. bequesting part of your estate to a non-heir entity is a pretty normal occurrence.

    Why shouldn´t dead people be able to express their political views? uhm?

    who are you to tell them they can´t support the party that best reflects their views?

    what is the republican party position on graveyard investment compared to the democrats? these are important issues.....these people are interested, tuned in to politics, and yes decomposing but they will not be ignored!!!

    why do you hate freedom?


    P.S.- I just realized that if the politicians don´t live up to their promises to the undead we might have a zombie apocalypse on our hands....
    fool around with this constituency and they´ll rise up and eat your ass!

    P.S.2- I meant that last line in the classic Romero zombie feeding frenzy...not as some subtle reference to some sort of salad-tossing undead frenzy.......just to make things clear
