1426. In the past I have donated because I felt I was paying for a service
I used. This site no longer offers the type of service I am willing to pay for, and I am seeking other options. You made your decision. DU is a completely different place from the Board I joined years ago. I cannot imagine putting up a DU booth at a liberal event today like some of us did for the Jim Hightower thing years ago. Things change, people change. It happens. I, like many who used to post here, am in search of a Progressive Underground and alignment with those who want to change the direction our country has been moving. This split has been happening for some time now. It may not be a bad thing, just something different. It's more difficult for those who want unity and consensus, but those are not necessary ingredients progress.

I may drop in around election time as I have in the past and if my usage of the site increases, I will make a donation for using the site at that time. For now, my resources are better spent else where. I hope there are no hard feelings. Thanks for some great memories.

Good luck, Skinner.

Peace,
GinaMaria
