1. Google Ad 'Sense.' Random ads selected by keywords here. 'Sestak' or 'Toomey' did it.

Click on it. Cost Toomey money and make money for DU.

2. It's not set up by DU it is an ad service that post political ads on related sites. More
Additionally, my thought on this is to click on it every time I see it. Why? Because usually these are set up as pay per click advertising. The more we click, the more we cost them in a manner that does them no good. A good thing imo.

3. I'm not seeing any ads, yet they are not turned off in my preferences.
I wonder if it's some ad blocking software I've installed. :shrug:

12. Your donor star prevents that.
We support DU directly, so we can avoid the ads.

10. ANY time I see an ad for a conservative candidate or cause on a liberal site
I click it about fifty times.

11. Why are you seeing ads?
For the ones your donor star doesn't get rid of, there's AdBlock Plus.

I don't see ads. Not on this site, or any others.
