Poverty advocates: a special request
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
Here we have a DUer without financial means attempting to point out a serious issue regarding the content of ads on DU, only to be repeatedly told to buy a star in order to avoid seeing the ads. This continues even after the DUer explains that doing so would be financially impossible.
Let's see if there's any way we can get this DUer a star, if for no other reason to compensate them for what poor people often have to go through here on DU, which ought to be (and all too often isn't) a sanctuary for people in economic distress. I'd do it myself, but my situation is identical, as most here know.
And, while we're at it, let's also support the OP in urging management to do whatever is necessary to keep right-wing teabagger ads off DU.

2. I'd help, but am revelling in the finacial strain of the times as well with 2 grossly underemployed adults in the house supporting a college student and two cats.
Kicking, so someone sees this that can help out. People have gifted me, and when I have money I gift others back. Thanks!
PS: You might want to post this in other forums (if you can) that get more traffic. I've seen people in GD offering stars, I'd start there. Good luck!
Now, why is poverty a problem?
Bo's been president for eleven months now.
In fact, Bo, the 0bamaites, and the primitives promised us poverty, and many other bad things, would disappear in the twinkling of an eye at 11:01 a.m January 20, 2009.
We were promised.
What's the hold-up here?
