I just signed up for the monthly donation... all I can say is...
...THANK YOU DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND!

If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906)

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945), Speech, September 22, 1936

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965), Malcolm X Speaks, 1965

It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Following the Equator (1897)

1. I started a monthly payment during the first quarter . . .
drive. If that is what it takes to keep this site up, I'll do what I can. As long as I feel DU is fair with their editing of posts.

But a small little bit of advice . . . they will still delete any of your posts if they feel they are too controversial and yada, yada, yada. Of course, if anyones' posts are publicly racists and lies, they should edit, but some of the stuff they delete, I just don't get why it couldn't have stayed on the board.

Can you spell C-E-N-S-O-R-S-H-I-P? I guess it's like the you cannot yell "fire" in a movie theater theory. Heck I don't know.

Total freedom of speech is dead and has already rotted in its grave.

The monthly payment gets treated the same way as the guy that gives one donation a year. So don't expect any special treatment regarding your posts either (not that I am saying you would). A person that gives $10 a year and the guy that gives $0.00 a year gets the exact same access as the ones who have obligated themselves to pay more. Like you and I.
