OK, DUers, it's crunch time. Only a day and a half to reach our goal. Fund drive ends Sunday night! 
We have less than 220 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!

Skimmer is running a special on gold stars. One penny. Of course, Skimmer is a DUmmy, too (sorry, coach). He lies. No matter
how many donations he ends up with, he'll claim over a thousand.

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.

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

Unbelievable.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Why yes he did.

There's no independent verification on how many donations he gets, so it's really irrelevant.  He could claim he got 10,000 donations and the DUmmies would just applaud and kneel down to dear $kimmer.  Most of them probably don't even realize how few DUmmies there actually are.  Thanks to BadCat, we know how many there really are.  If there was only some way to determine how many were moles. :-)

Well I've still got two, and one of them loves to firmly but politely tell the anti-gunners in the Gungion that semi-autos are actually very popular and to please them alone.

I see my fellow alum still refuses to concede that the central and mountain time zones exist, as if California is right next door to Washington, D.C.

Skins might have lost at least a couple of donors there, doing that; I know if someone wanting something from me refused to acknowledge that I existed, no donation from me.

The Bostonian Drunkard has NOW donated to Skins's island.

The cross-bearing carpet-bagging maternal ancestress, mother of the Bostonian Drunkard, the "Raven" primitive, has NOW donated to Skins's island.

The sparkling husband primitive, no.

Oscar Wilde, the large-proboscised "Cyrano" primitive, no.

The mountain man primitive, the "THOMWVA" primitive, no.

Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, no.

The imperious primitive, no.

Ms. Ed, the unappellated eohippus, no.

Doug's really stupid ex-wife, no.
