I would like to just ask Senator Levin if there is not a $20 limitation on all gifts from all the other people. I would not argue at all about lobbyists not contributing to a legal defense fund. That would be fine. But when you are talking about a $20 limitation, and especially if you have a long and extended prosecution, you cannot raise the money in $20 increments that are needed to go against the vast resources of a Government entity; is that correct?
