[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. solidly blue state but atleast in local elections

we do elect repub mayors,..and atleast at that my vote will count

[xmas74]

17. It will count either way.

We have to be optimistic. At least voting makes our views known, whether ours agree with us or not.

I've been praying for the day that my red state will finally fall back on the rich tradition that was provided by the only president ever from our state-Harry Truman.

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

68. Congratulations, again, dear!

MMOnce again, I'm minded of the value placed upon this thing called citizenship by those who have ha to struggle to attain it.

MMJohn Kay, of the late '60s R&R band Steppenwolf, was an emigre' from an Iron Curtain nation... when Kay wrote "Monster", many assailed him for what was seen as a diatribe against America, the nation whose succor and sanctuary he, like so many, had received. One magazine interviewer asked him about this seeming, and his reply was that he didn't want to see his new homeland go the way of his old.

MMI guess it's true: nothing easily obtained is ever valued as it should.

MMWelcome to our squabbling band, dear lady! You grace us with your beauty, you honor us with your passion, you inspire us with your vision! :hug: :toast:

[edbermac]

69. Congratulations!! I'm glad you decided to become an American citizen...

...in spite of the fact that we have the biggest horse's ass in charge of your newly adopted country...hopefully you and everyone here at DU will be able to change this situation in the upcoming elections.
