Randi Rhodes just went up a 15' ladder after a hornets nest.
If you listen to Randi on Sirius Radio you know what I mean. I got Sirius about two weeks ago. I absolutely love Randi, her style, and her message. BBV? Hell, I've been a fan of BBV BEV for a long time. And I just donated $100 to www.blackboxvoting.org . Join me in giving a little. However, realize that the BBV website says that there is a $4 "convenience charge" to any credit card donation (no matter what the size of the donation). That is the handler's charge and I'll grant that to them. That makes a higher donation less painful to BBV, if I read it right.

Look-it, you thought the campaign season was over, right? So did I. I gave until I bled. Guess what? The 2006/08 season just opened. I have already, in the last two days, had numerous duns from Democratic party-related organizations. No sweat. They shall have access to my change purse again. But. But! They won't get one goddamn red cent until we get to the bottom of BBV. If the DNC wants to donate to or fund big-time BBV investigations, and defer to the experts at Bev Harris's group, I'll share my bucks. Otherwise, and until I hear differently, I'll be giving to BBV.Org.

Oh, BTW. I would hope someone from the DNC monitors DU. Our dear Elizabeth Edwards certainly does. My message to the DNC is that I maxed out in contributions to K/E and the DNC this year. I also gave big to Move-on and a few others. I also wrote numerous editorials and LTTEs, most of which were published. In other words, I was extremely active in the cause.

However, DNC, I am shifting my $$$$ and energy to BBV and other direct anti-war and environmental issues. I know that really scares you. I'll support the Democratic Party, as I always have. If you start fighting for the above issues soon, especially BBV, you will get access to my change purse, again. Work for it. Wake up.

1. I hear ya!
Randi is taking bull by the balls so to speak. This is a cause that I will support.

I was talking to me best friend (more like we were bitching) and while I don't regret the $1000 + that I donated to John Kerry, this is where I want to focus my energy and $ to.

4. Yes
I have decided that any cash I donate will first and foremost be to the cause of making sure that the votes we cast will be the votes that are counted and reported. If we don't have that simple assurance, what the hell else really matters?

16. Welcome to DU, Prof.
I'm looking for more bang for my buck. Victory at the polls would be an ineluctable start.

6. My sentiments exactly.
My purse isn't anywhere as generous as yours but I have been neglecting some environmental causes that are dear to me to get through this, so I think I will go back to where I think it will do the most good.

8. I'm sending Bev a money order first thing in the morning!
And boys and girls I might have to skimp on my meds to do it, but by God if I have the friggin' big one, I'll ckeck out a happy camper knowing I did what I could! Who wants to live in a place like this shit hole anyway, with people like Bush running it!

I owe it to my grandkids to try!
