- One factor (4.00 / 4)
  
  This was not a presidential election year and that plays a factor in it.
  But yea, I hope we raise more than the RNC next year!

    This was left as a comment over at my blog. I think it's a must read and partly explains why I left the comment I am replying to now.

- I'm with you (4.00 / 7)
  
  I'm unemployed after but I still signed up for a bond. It's only $10.00. I signed up for Dean. I don't understand some Kossacks saying they won't give because somebody somewhere in the Dem party is doing something that they don't like. Dean is working his butt off. Please get his back.

  - Thanks (4.00 / 4)
    
    but don't say it's "only $10." With that Democracy Bond, you're telling the DNC that you're going to support them with a $10 contribution every month, and they can plan on it being there.
    Those $10 means it's that much more time Dean has to get to the real work of rebuilding the Democratic Party and begging the corporate masters for contributions. You want campaign finance reform. The Doctor's giving you a huge dose of it.

      - That did it for me. Corporate masters, and all (4.00 / 3)
        
        of that bull, so YES!, I signed up for the bond, was waiting, but decided this was more important! Still have to give to local efforts, tho, so gotta watch the money. Come on everyone do this so we can say that the corporate America effort is dead. I am so sick of it.

  - Tips for promoting Democracy Bonds (4.00 / 3)
    
    1. Email: simply send the URL: http://democrats.org/democracybonds.html to as many friends, family, and co-workers as you can.
    2. sigline promotion: Post the following sigline html code for your blog memberships (copy+paste; change the text message to your taste):
    <a href="http://democrats.org/democracybonds.html">Democracy Bonds. Get one!</a>
    At dKos, for instance, you can visit yout user page, and click "My Profile", and copy-paste the code above to the "Comments Signature" box (also to the "Bio" field, if you'd like)
    3. Buttons: post D-Bond buttons on your blogs and websites. Here is example code (instr. as for sigline). Code: <a href="http://democrats.org/democracybonds.html"><img src="http://tinyurl.com/czzsd"><br><i>Save our Democracy!</i></a>
    (additional tip for advanced users: save the D-Bonds gif image at the address http://tinyurl.com/czzsd to the usual place where you save your images (add the .gif extension while at it), and change the image URL in the code above)

    we also need a way to take the concept to people who're not online.
    Please ask the DNC to make us a version we can print out and give people in person.
    
    Be good to each other. It matters.

      Did so by sending off a letter from their contact page. Please see my comment here
      I encourage others to do the same.

    - clarification (none / 0)
      
      Just wanted to clarify something Allison, since you said "Please ask the DNC to make us a version we can print out and give people in person."
      I should hasten to tell you that I am not employed by the DNC (or anyone else that I promote :))
      I love the concept of these Dem. Bonds, and therefore I am trying to voluntarily help Dean and the DNC, just as you folks are!

      - Joe -- that item is close, but not quite (none / 0)
        
        Please note -- as I said elsewhere.
        This doc gives 2 choices:
        --charge my card every month
        --I do not want to get a Democracy Bond right now.
        I am SERIOUS there are at least 2 people on my block who would get a Democracy Bond and make the commitment to send it in themselves if I gave them a piece of paper, and a nice simple explanation.
        Not everyone wants their card charged every month, you know? Some people like to mail a check. In the case of a check, at least you don't lose the 3% card-processing charge, tho it may take time to process.
        For heaven's sakes -- let's stop excluding people who would otherwise be happy to participate.
        
        Be good to each other. It matters.

    Chris Cillizza just wrote about possible 2008 presidential candidates and omitted Wesley Clark. Only after he was browbeat with a million WTF comments from his readers did he post an update.

- My reaction exactly ... (none / 0)
  
  I was rather frustrated reading it yesterday and was planning to move from having donated occasionally to a Democracy Bond. Your fundraising appeal pushed me over the edge ... I'm in for $10.01 / month.
  NOTE THAT: Please make sure, if you do a Democracy Bond based on a DKos appeal, that it ends at $.01 per month. Send that online activism notice.
