The Big Dog; the Ragin' Cajun Cueball and the very esteemed Madeliene Albright have all sent out mails on behalf of John Kerry's current fundraiser.

You can contribute here.

Now, the poll question...

Do you think you will see a solicitation from Howard Dean during this fundraiser?

Don't forget to add your 38 cents so that the campaign knows it comes from DU.

1. I'll donate! but could you please explain

the 38 cents. I think I missed something here.

[rockymountaindem]

2. what does 38 cents have to do with this?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. Cost of a stamp maybe?

*admits ignorance on the cost of a stamp*

[DieboldMustDie]

22. The stamps I'm using...

are 37¢.

[RogueTrooper]

10. Around the blogsphere

people add an amount in cents to indicate who they are contributed from. DailyKos, Atrios, TPM etc all have there set amounts.

DU's donation indicator is 38 cents. I am not sure why it is this amount as I only saw it on Stephenie Heseth's website. I would be interested to know who, and why we became 38 cents.

4. Call me stupid..or at least uninformed..

What does EOM mean? and what about the .38?

[revcarol]

24. "end of message,"

or otherwise, "I don't have anything I want to say."

[Catfight]

6. .38?

please 'splain...thanks.

7. no , i don't think any of the other primary candidates will

i think it's unlikely any of the other candidates will show on there. but i could be wrong, we will just have to wait and see. although wesley clark has asked people to give money to john kerry on his own. it's really something special considering clark still has some debt to pay off.

[Lefta Dissenter]

11. Thanks, J

and any Kerry supporters who appreciate this about Wes Clark might want to give a few dollars to Wes Clark to help pay off his debt! :hi:

And don't forget to record your contributions to Kerry and/or Clark at www.WesClarkDemocrats.com as a way of letting the campaigns know how the WesClarkDemocrats are following the General's lead in working to rescue our White House from the hands of the Idiocracy.

8. Giving $n.38 tells the Kerry campaign ...

... "this is from a member of http://www.democraticunderground.com."

Give $100.38 or $20.38 or whatever. The 38 cents says that.

[Debi]

9. Why?

Is it like 19 people giving their 2-cents worth??

Anyone on the eom???

[RogueTrooper]

12. 19 people giving their 2-cents worth??

sounds like a thread from GD2004 ;)

[oregonjen]

13. eom-end of message

:)

[Debi]

18. thankyou

:)

[Lefta Dissenter]

14. eom

means that the subject line is the entire message - 'end of message.' n/t (no text) means the same thing.

:hi:

[Debi]

19. thankyou

:)

[abburdlen]

15. eom

eom = end of message

[Debi]

20. thankyou

:)

23. Savings on the Stamp (plus one cent)

You saved 37 cents on a stamp by doing this via the internet didn't you? And you don't want to look like a cheapskate, so go ahead and add a penny.

Disclaimer: I don't actually know why. In fact, I don't even know if my explanation about "adding 38 cents tells them it is from DU" is even accurate. I took a guess and thought I'd act like I know what I'm talking about.

Oh, great. My 1000th post is an admission that I don't know what I'm talking about.

16. link does not work

:(

http://www.johnkerry.com/ does and I did :)

[RogueTrooper]

17. That's it fixed

sorry about that.

[SW FL Dem]

21. Wish I had known about the .38 yesterday

When I donated $50. If Wes Clark asks, I donate another $50.38

[damnraddem]

25. At least, I hope Dean will help.

But can't Kerry get a bat instead of a boring chart?

[InvisibleTouch]

26. You know what I'd love to see?

I'd love to see all of the Dem candidates take their turn on the Kerry fundraiser. We've got 7 days to go, after all. Plenty of room for them all. Though I'd also like to see Hillary.

Wish I'd known about the 38 cents earlier, too ... but, the next contribution will have it....
