Stop putting it off... The time to donate to DU is now!

[Skinner]

Today is Friday. It's no secret that this week is our third quarter fund drive. Every time you've come to DU this week, there have been obvious reminders. We've got a big yellow box at the top of our our homepage; we've got a big thermometer at the top of every page; we interrupt you when you try to click into the forums or our articles; we even have a ?robot">crazy robot who trolls around groveling for money.

Admit it: You've been planning to donate all week, but you keep putting it off. You keep seeing interesting things to read, or posts that you want to reply to first, and you keep telling yourself that you're going to donate later.

Maybe you were just procrastinating. Maybe you were waiting to get your paycheck. (Today is Friday, you know. :)) Maybe you were waiting because you want to make donation #1000 to put us over the top. Whatever your reason for waiting...

Please take a moment to stop what you're doing and take a minute to donate to DU.

Our need is still as great as it has always been. It still costs more than $13,000 per month to run this place. That's a lot of money, but if we all donate a little, then we can easily cover it.

How important is DU to you? Isn't DU worth a few bucks every few months? Could you imagine life without DU?

You've put it off all week. Now is the time to donate. It only takes a minute, and it'll make you feel good.

Thank you so much for your support.

1. guilty as charged

but I just donated--in my own name this time. I've already donated anonymously for 2 people during this drive.

I was just waiting to get paid to donate in my own name.

So thanks for the reminder!

4. Actually, we're a little ahead of schedule

We're averaging more than the 143 per day we need to reach 1K by Sunday. I myself have just been waiting to get paid!

5. Thankfully, we are a little ahead of schedule.

But in the past, we've needed a good spike on Friday, because we always see a large drop in donations on the weekend.

I love this place and you guys rock! Keep up the great work. I find I watch much less TV now, but my husband teases me about too much DU time!

12. Done

sorry for the delay but I needed to see how much TicketMaster was gonna rape me for service charges on the Vote For Change Tour boletos.


Micromanaging the plastic these days.

13. Send a robot to Cancun?

...I did get that postcard... :D

And no, I couldn't imagine life without DU. I can, but it's not pretty. :)

14. If I buy the DU donation shirt does it count in this?

I've been eyeing it up for some time and I figured this is a good time to grab it but I want to know if it counts for the current drive. I'd like to reward myself for kicking that bastard in the face with a nice shirt.

[Skinner]

15. Yes it does!

Just make sure you send me an email after you buy it so I can add you into the total.

16. Done!
