Hello all,
I have been a lurker since 2003 or 2004. DU helped me survive the Bush Presidency (little did I know that something amazing would follow the disastrous Bush Presidency and that something even worse would follow Obama's 8 successful years in the White House). I joined DU last year when Biden dropped out of the race (Thank you Joe! He was the first candidate I ever voted for in a Presidential primary in 1988) and I became Star member. I love this community and as my name says I am a Dem for Life.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
