For contributing ('Star') DU members the ads are blocked. Kick in even a small contribution and you won't see the ads.

I've been a DU member since 2004 and never donated because I lurk more than post, but as a resident of Utah who's from a family of right wingers, I love having a place to hear from like minded people. Expect to see a star next to my name soon.
