OK, DUers, it's crunch time. Less than a day left to reach our goal. Fund drive ends TONIGHT!

[Skinner]

We have less than 75 donations to go to reach 1000. We can make it, but we need to pull out all the stops!

You've been thinking about donating... You've been putting it off all week... The time has come to donate to DU! The fund drive ends Sunday at midnight ET (9 PM PT)!

We know that times are tough right now -- if you cannot afford to donate, please do not. But if you have a little extra to spare, we hope you will take a moment to donate to DU. THERE IS NO MINIUMUM DONATION. Whether you can spare $50 or $5, you can help us reach our goal. You'll get a cool gold star next to your username, and you'll enjoy donor privileges for one full year.

A $20 donation is a little more than a nickel per day over the next year!

A $5 donation is a little more than a penny per day over the next year!

Can you spare a nickel per day? Can you spare a penny per day? If so, please donate to DU right now. Surely you will read *something* on DU today that is worth a penny. (Or even a nickel!) You probably already did.

You know how much this community means to you. You know how much time you spend here. There really isn't any other community like Democratic Underground, either online or off. This is your opportunity to give something back.



Even if you can't donate, you can help us by giving this thread a kick and a rec!

Thank you to everyone who donated this quarter, and thank you to all of our monthly subscribers!

5. OK, first person without a star to reply to my post gets a star.

Ready...set...GO!

[Vickers]

11. I guess the folks without a star aren't reading these threads?

[Vickers]

49. I don't fucking believe this. I WILL BUY A STAR FOR THE FIRST NON-STAR

PERSON TO REPLY TO MY POST.

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. Well, if it makes you feel any better,

I didn't have the star when I clicked into this thread.

Very generous offer, though.

[Vickers]

51. Aaaaargh!

I thought I had one!

[BobTheSubgenius]

54. In a way, you did.

I was going to donate, but your offer made me do it *right then*. So, you helped score one for the good guys and it didn't cost you anything but some typing.

Not bad, I'd say.

[Vickers]

62. Cool! Your post made my day.

I did donate to someone who PMed me, so I feel a little better now.

[odai123]

8. Kick

[Bonobo]

9. I donated, but I would like DU to be more open about accepting and considering changes.

You do not allow us to publicly discuss changes we want. You lock such threads and ask us to "contact the Admins" privately.
By doing so, you stifle open discussion. I know this is your choice. But donating is OUR choice.
I hope that you will consider allowing us to discuss changes in a more open format instead of stifling such discussion.

[NYC_SKP]

21. A "Suggestions Box" seems like a no-brainer.

Surely it's been considered?

[tbyg52]

67. AMEN. nt

[oldtime dfl_er]

10. K & R!

I'm going to try to donate again after I pay my bills...if I have anything left over.

14. KICK!

15. May not be able to donate right now, BUT...

We need to fix that asap.

[Cha]

26. In just tried it again and it seems to be

working. I was using the one under grovelbot "click here to learn more" and then clicking "donate to DU($10 per sticky).

So I will now go back and donate

[Cha]

27. Oh, sorry Skinner..I got it again when I clicked on

"Visit Grovelbot's Big Board".

Also earlier I was trying to donate in someone else's name and it wouldn't go back to "the donate space" after clicking on "find member".

[BooBluePotion]

28. You can count me in as donor 831 if you havent already

My contribution was mailed Friday @ 1:00pm and I'd be glad to take a star after delivery

32. I had already signed up for monthly donations... wasn't going to do any more and then

I looked up and saw Glenn Beck's fat face next in line for the knockout punch. And I had to make sure he got it. If we get to Rush Limbaugh, that's just a bonus - but Glenn Beck has to go DOWN.

[DU GrovelBot]

33. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our third quarter 2009 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[katkat]

34. what's the state of things

I value DU, but money is tight everywhere. i would like to see some indication of how much money DU actually needs vs. what has been contributed so far. How about one of those thermometers, like the Dean campaign used to use?

The preceding endorsement was completely unsolicited and no remuneration or other consideration of any kind, either actual or implied, was given in exchange.
