Now you've done it, Kossacks. You've gone and put smiles on faces and joy in hearts. You've doled out hope and encouragement in spades. You've spoken loud and clear and without hesitation that here, in this rambunctious and often contentious community, people still matter. You've astonished everyone with your incredible generosity and demonstrative commitment to each other but it should surprise no one. Anyone paying attention already knows that when it comes to caring about others and reaching out to friends and neighbors, acquaintances and total strangers on this site and elsewhere, Kossacks walk the talk.
In droves.
How often on this site do we get to say 'no one could have predicted' and have it be about something wonderful and positive that is taking place around us instead of something disastrous and horrible? How often do we get to be a part of something that is truly spontaneous which benefits so many? And how often do we get to be a part of something that has brought so much joy and happiness to so many in such a short period of time?
Yet here we are, in the midst of these challenging economic times, fortunate to be able to acknowledge that at least when we fail at 'no one could have predicted' it's only because the reality proved even better than anyone's wildest expectations. Liberals are really cool that way.
Your generosity, kindness, and thoughtfulness during the lifetime subscription drive has touched the hearts and lifted the spirits of countless fellow Kossacks. The response from those receiving lifetime gift subscriptions has ranged from humble and incredulous to ecstatic and overjoyed. DailyKos of late has been filled with diary after diary graciously expressing heartfelt gratitude and emotional appreciation for the outpouring of meaningful support and sincere goodwill that has flowed abundantly from this site during one of the most stressful times of the year.
Yes, you've really done it this time Kossacks but there's still more to do!
The DKos lifetime subscription drive continues because Dec 31, 2011 is the last day to obtain one. The date is fast approaching and we still have a list with the names of Kossacks who would enjoy having a lifetime subscription. We are not here to pressure you. We acknowledge that everyone has different priorities and obligations when it comes to their finances, especially during the holidays. All we ask is that if you're able and willing, please consider gifting one of your fellow Kossacks with a lifetime subscription. Thankful testimonies tell us that it's a gift that is greatly appreciated!
The price of a DailyKos lifetime subscription is $100. In the yellow box below is the ever-changing clickable list of Kossacks who have been nominated for, would like to receive, or would greatly benefit from a lifetime subscription. Click the Kossack's name that you would like to gift and the link will take you to their profile page. Once there click the light gray 'give a gift subscription to this user' link to complete the process.
You can also donate smaller amounts through the
Small Donor Drive thoughtfully made possible by Nurse Kelley, Dr Erich Bloodaxe RN, and Onomastic. The donations collected through this drive will be pooled to randomly purchase lifetime subscriptions for those on the list. So far at least 15 Kossacks have been gifted with a lifetime subscription through the 'Small Donor Drive.' You can make a donation by going to
paypal.com and selecting the 'send money' option on the left. Type in
KelleyRN2@gmail.com as the destination. You will receive an e-mail notification that your donation was completed. When the lifetime subscription drive ends an anonymous donor has offered to pony up the remaining amount necessary to purchase one last subscription.
Now take a look below at what you've gone and done so far!

Please give thanks to Onomastic, Dr Erich Bloodaxe RN, nomandates, Sandy from 29, Cedwyn, Betson08, Clem Yeobright, Yasuragi, and KelleyRN2 and the many participants in the 'List' diaries for their tireless work and amazing tenacity in keeping the drive alive. Your words of encouragement have gone a long way!
Also, if you don't want to publicly ask for help in getting a lifetime subscription, please send Onomastic a private message via KosMail.
Visit Yasuragi's current post The List: DKos and My Two Years in Purgatory for the latest updates and commentary.
A warm and sincere THANK YOU! to Meteor Blades for promoting us to the Front Page this evening. The goal was to keep Onomastic and Dr Erich's efforts ongoing and hopefully snag a few more gift subscriptions in the quiet days before Christmas. MB gave us an extra boost tonight and it was greatly appreciated by everyone involved. We definitely saw an uptick in response once the diary hit the main page. Thanks again MB for giving us a lending hand.
