well, I just broke DU's cherry on ActBlue for Hillary by donating

[NMDemDist2]

I also donated to Edwards

:don_flame_suit:

:hi:

edit to add, I guess that makes me the only "real" Hillary supporter on DU eh? :hide:

[Breeze54]

1. Like she or he need more money?

:wtf:

[NMDemDist2]

3. that's not the point. the point is I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is,

and if I want my candidates to work for me, I have to support them so they don't have to take money from the corporate donors

It's my way of taking my party back.

[Breeze54]

11. No comment

it's Sunday.

[NMDemDist2]

16. ok, whatever

:shrug:

[Horse with no Name]

25. You can back whomever you like

But if you seriously think that your money is going to force Hillary from taking corporate money...that's just not going to happen.

[NMDemDist2]

30. it's a 'principle of the thing' deal for me

so many moan and complain about the Dems but won't put their time or money on the line to change it.

many do, but I don't need to be preaching to the choir. if we all sent in $20 or 50 or 100 or 1000 bucks, our candidates wouldn't need corporate money, but it ain't gonna happen

[BlooInBloo]

5. Totally!!! What fucking assholes! People donating to candidates of their fucking choice!

God i HATE those people!

:rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

7. ROFL I hear ya

I'm such an asshole!!!

:rofl:

[Donkeykick]

2. Congratulations!

I'm going to have to see if I can catch up to you. ;-)

[NMDemDist2]

6. hope you do! be sure to use the Democratic Underground ActBlue link pinned to the top

of this forum....

:hi:

[ElizabethDC]

4. Awesome!

I've donated to Hillary a few times, but I always forget to do it through ActBlue!

[NMDemDist2]

8. I almost forgot too

but then remembered :evilgrin:

[ElizabethDC]

9. Next time I donate to her, I'll do it through DU

just so you aren't feeling lonely or anything. :)

[NMDemDist2]

10. yeah, it's a sad lonely "1" on the DU page

:hide:

[liberalmuse]

12. Good for you!

Donating to any Democratic candidate is a good thing. I am not an avid Hillary supporter, but should she win the nominaton, you can bet I will be. I support all of the Democratic candidates right now, some more than others. There are days where I get so miffed I think about not voting, though that is absolutely not an option for me. No one who supports Hillary should be ashamed. Only those liberals who don't vote should be ashamed.

14. I'm not sure I'm all the way behind HRC, I threw some $$$ at Edwards too

but I like that she's putting up a fight so she was worth $20 just for that

:hi:

[Kip Humphrey]

13. Aw geez! And I was looking forward to a virgin president.

[NMDemDist2]

15. sorry about that

:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

17. Well, I am old enough to run for President...

:spray:

[NMDemDist2]

18. ....

:hug:

[Kajsa]

19. Good for you, AZDem!

Have you narrowed down your candidates to
a lower number?

I'm STILL at two, down from six.
But there is still time.


:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

20. well I've donated to two (this is the 2nd time for Edwards) but still have NO clue

who's getting my vote

I still like ol' Joe Biden a lot too

technically the first Edwards donation was from hubby, he wanted to throw him some cash, I just did it in my name

[emilyg]

21. Good for you.

[NMDemDist2]

22. can you believe it?

no flames yet.....

:evilgrin:

[emilyg]

24. lol - the evening is young. I think I'll donate here, too instead of her website.

[Booster]

23. I donated to Edwards through DU, but am saving my money to

donate to whomever wins the primaries, no matter who gets the nod.

[NMDemDist2]

29. yeah, I'll be sending the big money next summer n/t

[KharmaTrain]

26. My Money Goes To The "Undercard"

$100 for a start-up campaign will go a longer way than money for any of the Presidential candidates and is far more rewarding for me. I've been chipping in with dozens of campaigns so far and plan to continue to do so to ensure not only there are bigger Democratic majorities in 2009, but also more Progressive candidates as well.

There are many campaigns that could use help right now...a critical time for those who face either primary fights or against an entrenched Repugnican. The top tier gets all the publicity and "bundlers"...I'm not out to buy influence, I'm trying to build a party.

[NMDemDist2]

28. my little donation won't stop me from supporting my local party to the max

hell, I pay for most of the stuff I do for them out of pocket anyway since our County budget is zilch

if I want flyers or door hangers, I make em myself, I use my cell phone minutes to phone bank and our meetings are luncheons and we pass a basket

it costs money to work for the party around here (just kidding, sorta...)

and I'll be laying out $100 here and $100 there for the congressional and local races I'm sure

[KharmaTrain]

31. Good For You!!

I've seen your posts in the past...IRC, you worked on a bunch of campaigns in '06. I do the same here...and am working now with a challenger for the blue dog in my district. It's not glamorous, but rewarding as all hell knowing you're doing something.

I see a lot of people obsessed with the Presidential beauty pagent...I'm taking a pass on that one.

Cheers...

27. Now we have whipped cream on the cherry.
