Just cancelled my monthly contribution and told them why
I plan on contributing directly to my wonderful senators from Michigan. I'm done with letting them all have access to my limited funds when they won't stand up for me. As a woman I have one thing to say to them....I WON'T GO BACK....

2. That's the way I wish we would all go.
Give to vetted individuals, not to a black hole where you have no idea what it's used for. I'm going to be VERY selective with my giving from here on out. I won't be a sucker any more!

5. Did you buy that bond in the first place to support Dean?
He supported the fillibuster. He's trying to get more Dems elected. More than anything, that's what we need.

I thought people bought Democracybonds to support Dean. Do you not support him anymore?

7. Not me, I just doubled mine. Today illustrates the importance of
making certain that Democrats are in a position of power.

9. I respectfully disagree
They don't use the power for good when they have it. Like today.

So what's to sasy that if they ever get real power they will actually exert it for good?

Rather than supporting generic Democrat, at this point, I believe it'd more effective to pull out and reallocate it to the individual Democrats who are actually worth a toot.

4. Did you set it up to support Dean?
In the first place?

Dean supported the fillibuster. Dean is trying to get more Dems elected. More than anything that's what we need.

6. When it comes to pass that Dean decides...
how the money is alloted, I will give to the DNC again.

Until then, my money is going straight to DFA or individual candidates.

I don't even consider myself a dem now.
