Still, I would not have thought that a reference to an article from the pages of a well-known progressive internet outlet as AlterNet.org would be so unfamiliar to a mukto-mona member residing in the United States. This was an article by Justin Elliott from yet another prestigious news/opinion cyber mag, salon.com.
Even a semi-literate could differentiate an "add" from an informative article on a very important topic, i.e., our democracy is at stake, and elections mean very little since they are being bought by big money alone.
A little schoolgirl knows that the American shorthand for advertisement is 'ad' -- without the additional 'd' -- and what an ad looks or feels like.

This is an add. Please do not forward this type of add.

Thanks for clarification of your earlier statement. It makes sense now!!

Ms. Majid,
Did you go to that link yourself? When I clicked on it, it brought another add-on. You cannot get out of that add-on, without supporting the protest in front of the Wall Street. It was a trap for supporting the protest, which I am against. Without supporting the protest, I was unable to read what the heck you sent to me. That was my point, which you did not understand, even with your super-smart brain.
I am well aware of American politics, possibly better than you. Political action committee (PAC) is nothing new. Do you know – in the last presidential election, Obama raised almost a billion dollar, which was the record election fund in the history of USA. Nobody blamed him for buying the election with his record election fund. This year, his target is at least 1 billion dollar. So, don't jump out of the chair when you see something on the net.
By the way, I noticed some attitude problem in your language.

Admittedly it is difficult for someone like Jiten Roy to understand the language of American politics, and terms like 'war chest' (fund available for a politician for contesting an election) and 'super PAC' (money collected by donation towards a candidate in an election) would be incomprehensible.
