get more people to the meetings.

And collect signatures.

And do all the other sorry crap we have to thanks to otherworldly election law.

It was a lot of fun back when the machines ran things. Now it's more like work. With no pay.

But, thanks and good luck to you. We need more to get out there and do what has to be done.

(As a committee person, I have, with the others, until the 20th to get a bunch petitions signed or we have no candidates for anything. Nobody, our Congressman, local and state candidates... Nobody gets on the ballot without petition signatures.)

If you can't get a copy, pm me if you'd like.

Your main function is to conduct the election. You'll need a partner.

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.
