OK YOU SLUGS
I just celebrated my 205th post by donating to DU.
I ordered me a DU T-Shirt that I plan on wearing when I go to Denver to see the BRONCOS Sunday night game in September.

Seeing as COLORADO is supposed to be PRO-Bush, which I can't figure out for the life of me, I will let everyone know that I am in the know here at DU.

So if I can do it you can do it too.

Open up those wallets and purses you slugs and DONATE NOW.

You'll feel SO much better!!!!

1. i'd love to...
but i am on social security disability. $$$ kinda tight. it's kinda hard to be NOT ABLE to donate and then get called names for it. try and be a little more thoughtful.

2. I think it was aimed at those who CAN afford to donate but don't.
We've all been there and I have not been able to donate either due to the crappy ass Bush economy and outsourcing that sent my job to India. Someone was kind enough to donate a star for me, but even so I feel bad about not being able to donate even though I probably shouldn't.

3. well still...
the fact that it is openly differentiated-there is a cerain thinger...like "hmmm whats with them" since those who support have a star. i know i'm a n00b, and christ, i am blessed by ppl who have helped me w/ stuff, but how about a checkmark or an x or something for those unable to afford it and don't have someone to give on their behalf...i don't mind constantly reminding ppl i'm to poor to give non-verbally. but this makes me cry.

4. NO that's OK
If you can't do it now you'll do it when you can.
The most important thing is that you are here, with us staying informed and being with people who share your views.

Welcome to DU and please be assured that no one discriminates here.

Star or no star, your as important here as anyone else!

Welcome to DU and contribute the best way that you can.
With your words, heart and ideas!
