Yes, I am concerned by the numbers for the end of the year filing.
In addition I was concerned that if Soros and SEIU are the only people to
move large sums, would this be a perception problem for us that more of the
large donors are not giving to the fund and giving it initial support..

I think it also helps Mary Pat with other donors to show we have several
donors supporting the fund, to get others on board.
