Reply #203: I've been here since 2001, and active since then because of Stolen Election [View All]

and the rest of the Bush Crimes. Unlike what Will Pitt says above, most of us who've been here have been boots on the ground active in Dem politics locally and nationally. Keyboard Warriors is insulting when folks who've been here with us remember all we've done. Protesting Sinclair Affiliates, going to DC for huge Anti-Iraq Invasion demonstrations and engaging with our local Congress Critters at Town Hall Meetings and personall. Election Activism where many got our states to change election laws because of working with our State Legislatures. Then there are the phone, faxes and petitions. The money we've donated to get ads out there that would work to get the truth out about issues. The involvement with activists groups.

It's sad to see a post calling out DU'ers who are part of this community who contribute and have legitimate reasons to hold our Democrats feet to the fire if waffle on programs that Dems have worked hard for years to support, and if they don't uphold the issues they based their campaigns on and got voted in to uphold.

DU has been an incredible site for sharing activism and getting word out about projects and activities for Democrats, and a wonderful support network. Up until recently, that is.
