Oh my.  It must be that thing that's celebrated a couple of days after Abraham Lincoln's birthday, or eight days before George Washington's birthday.

Many people have been asking if we are going to have our Valentine hearts fundraiser this year.

Yes, we are. It begins this weekend.

Normally our fund drives start on Sunday evening. But this year I think we might start it early -- on Friday evening -- so we won't miss Valentine's day.

Also, the hearts are a little different this year. Ought to be fun...

More toys and glittering baubles for the primitives.

5. At least until we reach 1000 donations.

But we might leave it open longer if there is interest.

Damn, my fellow alum's good.

Admirable.

18. some people have donated already in the last three days because they already lost their star. Is there any way they can be awarded hearts retroactively?

If you recently donated, we'll spot you some hearts.

40. We will give out some freebie hearts for donors...

...like we did last year.

Well now, that's not so wise.

Skins should charge for the stars.

21. How come you don't have a star?

You should have a great big one or maybe a pretty blue one or lavander.

25. Because I think it is important that I see the ads.

I want to know what is showing, and how annoying they are.

You're a proud  laid off UAW worker who gave the last of his disposable income to The Obama Campaign. You need the star to be able to research DU so you can get a group of people together to march on DC for workers rights,Gay marriage anf the prosecution of the Bush administration! :-)

Now that the great Skittle pooper is in office the floor has dropped on those tasty candies, of course there needs to be a fund raiser.

Why wasn't alms to the DUmp included in the bailout package? After all, look what they did and how much money they raised to the "The One" elected. I believe that it exceeded 100,000 dollars.

Someone gave you a valentine heart!
From: Secret Admirer
Date: Feb-13-09 XX:XX PM 
A secret admirer gave you a valentine heart! Your new valentine heart appears at the bottom of each message you post on the Democratic Underground discussion forum. It looks like this:



If you want to give valentine hearts to other DU members, just donate to DU during this week's fund drive. For every $5 you donate to DU, you get a valentine heart that you can give to another DU member. (Please be aware that if you donate to give a donor star to someone else, that person will get the valentine hearts to give away. You will not get any hearts.) Just click this link to donate:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/donate.html

Note: Since these valentine hearts are anonymous, you cannot reply to this Private Message

I had to X out the time on message. Knowing Der Skimmer, if he thought he could get one of us, he would TS every DUmmy that received a message with that time stamp.

Yeah, well knowing that it came from the VRWC, you also have to know that we ripped that heart out of some helpless, innocent homeless person.  Probably the one that slept in the refrigerator box next to Bobbling primative.
