Tis the season...let's open this to the entire DU family

Over in the Lounge there is a gofundme going on for a DUer: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182108477

It has raised almost $1,100 for a DUer down on his luck. It is all in his post at the link above.

IF you think this is a scam, that is up to you. As for me, I fell this is legitimate. Scammers don't give their real world name or the small town they live in. This is John's first time asking for our help.

This is the season of giving. As usual, when I post a fund-raiser, I ask for just $3 (or more) and a K&R for visibility.

I know the DU family can at least double the amount raised for John. We can do this, and brighten a DUer's holiday.

Here is the direct link to the gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-john-mckusick-overcome-health-and-financial-struggles

Please consider a small donation. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, etc.

I sense a veiled shot at mvd.

Especially since the guy's problems appear to be real, not self-inflicted or due to declining to get a job.
If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

Matt does.
NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
