The Big Shoulders swim, held in Chicago Sept 6th. Offered the new look in USMS sanctioned swims, political partianship. For a link to the discussion go here http:/.../showthread.php This is the same organization that is running next years Nationals. USMS, you need to address this.
Curious about whether or not Obama's campaign needs to disclose the value of the t-shirts and medals as campaign materials as in-kind donations. Maybe the campaign financing police ought to take a look at this one. Also curious: who made the donation of the "charicature?" Was it the DNC? Was it Obama's camapign? There are more troubling issues with all of this than what meets the eye. What about 501(c)(3) status for Chicago Masters? Have they violated IRS regs? As for ILMSA, the Obama campaign materials were just as much of a surprise to ILMSA and USMS as it was to the participants who were not the organizer's insiders. Chicago Masters needs to cough up cash equal to the value fo the dhirts and the medals and return that to the participants who request a refund. As an ILMSA person I extend my apology to all who have been offended by Chicago Master's lapse of judgment. Wake up Chicago Masters there is more to the world than Cook County and its myopic diability.
