True, as far as it goes, but in a system where money is equated with actual speech by the SCOTUS, (and some would say that money ranks higher than actual speech), national organizations are also important, but perhaps only as funders rather than as guides for policy.

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.
