DU needs to change the "About DU" page. I suggest these changes:

"Democratic Underground (DU) was founded on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2001, to protest the illegitimate presidency of George W. Bush and to provide a resource for the exchange and dissemination of liberal and progressive ideas. Since then, DU has become one of the premier purple websites on the Internet, publishing original content six days a week, and hosting one of the Web's most active purple discussion boards.

We welcome purple Democrats of all stripes, along with other Democrats who will work with us to achieve our purple goals. While the vast majority of our visitors are Democrats, this web site is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, nor do we claim to speak for the party as a whole.

Democratic Underground would not be possible without the participation of purple -minded individuals from across the country and, indeed, from around the world. The content for the site is provided by people who feel that their purple views are not represented by the conservative "mainstream" media in the U.S. We accept article submissions from those on purple Democrats who wish to write, so that DU represents a variety of purple viewpoints. We have a particular appreciation for satire and humor."
