I'm RENEWING my DONOR star. How much should I donate?
I am donating for the following reasons:

•This whole Alito business has made me mad, and I want to do something to help DU.
•That "Level 6 is for donors only" that apparently happened while I was in class scared me into it. I'd miss you guys if that ever happened again.
•I wanna be able to post polls and use My Posts to the fullness of its capabilities.

OK, granted, most of my reasons are selfish, but I really want to know how much I should donate. I don't have much money, so nothing over two digits (i.e. $10, $20), and is there some number that signifies whatever political point we're beating on right now (like $20.06 or something)?

13. Give $5
When you don't have much to give, like me, give $5 and make a promise to yourself that IF you have the money next time around, you'll quadruple it. I defy anyone here to give you shit for giving $5!

20. Well, before you renew there are things you should probably know.
The bigger the donation, the more access to the super secret Democratic Underground forums you have.

For $1000, you can see the pics of Bush and Abramoff.


Just kidding. Donate what you can.
