The Sunday DU Kerry-a-thon - Let's raise $500
Edited on Sun Mar-21-04 04:27 PM by WillyBrandt
Let's see if we can't raise $500 for John Kerry. (The Bonesman!!!) I have a $101 credit on a credit card that's easier to give to Kerry than to reclaim for my wallet.

So--$101 for John Kerry from Herr Doktor Willy Brandt.

Is anyone in with me? $399 to go!

(The extra $51 I'm donating is for those who says that we shouldn't donate to the Bonesman!!! Kerry!!!)

4. I understand, WD
But if we don't pull together, what will happen to the Bonesman?

Sorry... I have too much fun making fun of those S&B posts...

15. Here's another sawbuck!
Thanks Richard, your contribution of $10 has been approved.
Thank you very much for your generous contribution to the campaign. Your support helps the campaign build our team against the powerful special interests of George Bush. Together, we can replace their politics of hate and hostility with the politics of possibility and purpose.

While I am certain you are asked to give to many causes, your commitment to my campaign and to the larger political process is humbling and much appreciated.

16. $336, $144 to go
WB, I think you missed $10 somewhere.

Anyway, let's get this done within 60 minutes of the start!

Reminds me of the old Clark blog.

17. Yep--yep... I remember once raising like $1500 for Clark
in an evening. It was amazing.

I SO WISH we could tally this officially as a DU fundraiser.

40. I remember one that you held one night
in honor of a freeper who was impersonating a Clark supporter.

I would donate now, but I need to wait until some money comes in. It will probably be a couple more days. I will be sure to let DU know when I do make my first donation.

Good job btw WillyBrandt, for both Kerry and Clark. You should try it every weekend.

26. Just a reminder
A few DUers are Kerry fundraisers. I don't remember who. I think Rowdyboy might be one.

I can't donate tonight but I have a loooong list of Dem donors in my area that I've pledged to call. There is almost nothing I hate as much as cold calling, but I will do it. I want * out of office that bad.

27. Cold calling is OK
Mainly because a lot of people really want to see B* gone. Dem donors at least are 99% anti-B*. The 1% can be funny. We had a list of donors to our candidate. The man on the list wasn't home, but his wife said, "That must be a mistake, we're voting for B*".

Proving that communication is important in a marriage. The less the better in some cases.

49. Dear disruptor,
that's at least the third time you posted the same thing. Really creative.

How many other threads aiming to help the Dem party do you want to disrupt?
Nothing else to do than disrupting?
Do you have to disrupt because you can't stand people helping the Dems?
Do you disrupt because you fear Bush might lose in November?
Why don't you go to another board instead of disrupting.

50. Didn't you see the star by my name?
That means that I'm a paying member of DU and have been here for almost 4 years.

I just want to make sure that those contributing to Kerry's campaign know that his campaign believes that money doesn't win elections, so why curse him with it?
