Your support really is our progress. The speed with which we grow, and the point at which the Downsize DC Army becomes . . .

Strong enough to communicate its message to everyone, everywhere, every day,
And large enough to make Congress submit in the face of relentless, overwhelming, resistance-numbing pressure,

. . . really does depend on you, and what you do. And you did a lot in November. Your efforts . . .

Recruited enough new DC Downsizers to bring the Downsize DC Army to a new milestone -- 29,000 strong!
Registered 668 new people to use our Educate the Powerful System to pressure Congress -- 86 more than in October
Pounded Congress with 63,973 letters -- 3,232 more than last month

This is the second month in a row that we'e exceeded the previous month's growth numbers in all areas. Congratulations!

Now we have one last goal to meet -- increased funding. We need . . .

$250 in new monthly pledges
$2,000 in one-time donations

Please help us meet these growth goals by starting a monthly credit card pledge, or by making a one-time donation, using our secure contribution form. https://secure.downsizedc.org/contribute/

Remember, your support really is our progress.

The progress of one business really depends on the customers so it is important that we provide what the customers need and what they expect. If we want to succeed in our business we must have lots of ideas in order to think of ways that would encourage costumers to buy from us. Maybe this strategy lacks in Six Flags Parks that's why they experience this bankruptcy. Six Flags Parks had been consistently losing money since the early 2000s, and recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. They had a roller coaster of a business history, figuratively speaking, and had experienced a shareholder revolt in 2005, and earlier this year, the company was de-listed by the New York Stock Exchange. They had warned stock holders that a bankruptcy filing might be inevitable, and blamed former management for taking on too much debt. It isn't as if Six Flags Parks were going to cure their financial ills with payday loans. It not surprising if someday we cannot anymore see this famous amusement park.
