20. Skinner, is there a way to make 1 donation but spread it out among several people?
Maybe there is and I just haven't figured it out. If so, in my defense, I've had a migraine this whole week so I might have missed it.

33. I did a separate donation for each person I gave a star to
since I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the info. I might not be done yet, depending on the size of my next check.

The one that ended at midnight Thursday?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8357149&mesg_id=8357149
