[Lnc-business] Fwd: LP Web Site Building Fund page

[Nicholas Sarwark]

I think it makes sense to keep a building targeted page, as long as
it's clear that money donated there will be put toward paying the
mortgage down.  I don't think such a page should be featured
prominently, especially during campaign season.
