I took crap for this last time in GD-P

Last edited Tue Aug 11, 2015, 05:58 AM - Edit history (1)


Over the weekend I was ready to leave the DU. I had turned off the Hillary and Grayson links. One email turned things around. I turned the accounts back on.

When we crossed the $10,000 mark some people didn't seem to understand this was meant as a group effort.

The DU has raised over $11,000 for D candidates since May 1, 2015 with an average of $29.67 per donation!

(O'Malley got a $50 match from Marta and I in that total)

Edit. By email request the donation links in order.

Donate to DU for Bernie at Act Blue: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

Donate to DU for Hillary at Act Blue: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforhillary

Donate to DU for O'Malley at Act Blue: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforomalley

Donate to DU for Grayson for US Senate at Act Blue: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforgrayson

and for all your efforts. I completely understand your sentiments and I too believe that this effort is important not only in and of itself, but important upon which to report. I will add that I have sent a few forums, groups and threads to my personal trash can in order to keep things a bit more sane for me along with posting much, much less overall.

like they do after every election cycle, only to return 4 or 8 years later. They are like cicadas.

I will set up a monthly contribution for my candidate today. Without your involvement I'm not so sure I would do that.

You are a great member of this group!



I cannot even understand why this would be an issue in GDP, and I don;t think I want to understand. We have a great group here and I think we have a great SOP.

Thank you steve.
