the 44th MD telethon. I have always watched and donated. It would be cool for a DU contest

[greenbriar]

[greenbriar]

[spanone]

2. k&r....

[greenbriar]

3. I just made a 25 dollar donation from a Democratic Underground Member

[greenbriar]

4. Jerry Lewis looks really good this year

there were a few years I thought he wouldn't make it

[XOKCowboy]

5. I'm with Chris Rock on this one. 44 years and not one of those children has been healed

Doesn't say a lot about the state of health care in our nation. Kinda blows the Repug canard about government run health care stifling medical innovation also.

6. "Where the Fuck's the Money Goin'? C'mon, Jerry...Lie to Me!"

[XOKCowboy]

7. LOL Yep that's the one..

And if you ain't gonna cure the disease,
cut the kids a check!



That's right, you know the little boy who's
getting ready to die? Get him a table dance.



Get him a table dance, for Christ's sake!



I'm sure the Make-A-Wish people
hear that request every now and then.

OK so it's a serious subject and worth cause but Chris has a point.

10. I know two young men with MD and I agree

[greenbriar]

8. I don't do a lot of donations but I do this one every year

I had a relative able to go to camp because of this

I strongly believe in it

[Gogi]

9. I have MD and I received a letter this week...

about how MDA is not getting contributions like they used to and detailing all the cost savings they've made to close the gap. It has'nt been enough.

[greenbriar]

11. but to see the giving on Labor day

helps me realize there are caring people

[greenbriar]

12. another year done

many more good things to come from this
