....all those worker dues going to political contributions...

I remember a report posted here on DU showing the combined total of union donations to DEM political campaigns being in the 300million (or so) dollar area in the last Presidential election cycle, representing a 20million+ member coalition of unions, or about $15+ a worker. Not sure how that is relevant to what the billionaire boys club members are donating.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
