I posted this in General Discussion and it was suggested that it should have been posted here.

I just read a thread before it was blocked and it truly disgusted me.
It was an insulting rant aimed at a young woman whose made an appeal for help to feed the starving children in the world.

I was so disgusted, I thought I would ask for a jury decision to delete it but then I would not get the chance to tell the poster just how I felt about his comments so this is what I wanted to tell him:

She is asking people to send money to help all the children in the world that are starving to death. You do not care for the way the appeal is produced, but you will find it in your heart to give money if you get a look at her boobs. That sort of comment can be expected from the like of Rush Limpballs but it is shocking to find it on DU. Shame on you.

I do not know if this post is legal but I felt I had to say it.

I would appreciate any input on a little research I did last week.

I was checking my local congressman through Opens Secrets web site and found that in the last two election cycles his campaign has paid almost $200,000 to a LLC comany. The secretary of state sites lists only the agent for service of process for this company. This person happens to be the congressman's chief of staff. I think this kind of arrangement is a little suspect. I have a suspicion that the company is actually owned by the congressman himself but, of course, I do not know that for a fact.

Do any of the great legal minds here at DU think this type of arrangement is quite normal or does it sound a little suspicious. Any input would be very welcome.

Does anyone live in the 4th congressional district?

I was doing some reading about Thomas McCormick and his association with a company called Political Dynamics LLC and the information at the Secretary of State site was very limited. Does anyone have any background into who this company is. He has apparently paid them thousands of dollars in consulting and other expenses. I think it would be important to find out who they are.

I have a suggestion regarding star membership.

I do realize that the star is posted next to our user name but I do not always look there and did not notice that it had gone and my membership had expired. I think it would be a good idea to send a computer generated reminder to our inbox. This would be a good ways of ensuring renewals on a timely basis.

I have let my membership lapse in the past for this very reason, so it would seem to be a cost effective move. I notice that the new membership rates do not include the opportunity to get a tee shirt included with membership. That is a shame as I always like to get one with my subscription, it gets me a lot of strange looks in the republican area where I live.
