I posted this thread last night: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2039604

linking to a website for a candidate for whom I have been volunteering for months (www.jeffsmith2004.com). We are trying to raise money to run ads the last week of the campaign. Read the original thread for more details.

So we just got the first stats back.

THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF DONATIONS IS DU.

You guys are going to be partially responsible for Missouri having a progressive representative in Congress for years to come. Pat yourselves on the back DUers, you did great with this one. Keep up the good work. Even $10.00 helps us move to victory.

1. Did you post at Kos, too?

2. No, someone else is posting at Kos.

Markos is also travelling today, so we don't have front page there. Nevertheless, DU is beating Kos right now.

3. i don't see a field for "other' amounts

you only have the options of $10, $20, ect...whole ammounts. Thside does, however, allow you to enter a the name of some other person you are pledging on behalf of.

4. I should have looked closer.

Maybe ten is the minimum. I apologize if I led anyone astray.

Saw the Nevilles here in St. Louis last wekend Funkybutt. Ivan was with them. I like Ivan more and more every time I see him.

6. Gotta Love the Nevilles

I'm a big fan of Art's myself. I think Art's grandson, Ian, will also end up hitting the big time. I dont' know if he was at your show but he plays the guitar and he's only like 19. I first saw him play with the Meters at Jazzfest when he was only like 15. Really amazing! Keep your eyes and ears open for his future sounds.

7. I saw Ian when I was in NO last spring.

He is very good. I particlualrly like the way the Nevilles are passing it on to the next generation. Man, Charles looks old now. I hadn't seen him in about five years and he has really aged.

Over the Sugar Bowl weekend, I saw Ivan, George Porter, Jr., Johnny Vidacovich, and Stanton at Tips. I was blown away by those guys.

5. Oh, I see what you mean. You can't add the $0.02.

I guess they are tracking the sources by the referring web page.
