What did you do to honor Paul Wellstone's memory today?
There are lots of activities all over the country today, some specifically in honor of Paul Wellstone and others where the people took time out to remember this great man. Imagine how differenct America would be if Wellstone were still alive today.

So what activities did the different members here attend? I went to a concert where one of the young activists spoke about Paul Wellstone and then dedicated her perfomance of "Imagine" to Paul's memory.

1. another politico
....yes, that is what I thought about him(before I really knew about him).

But now I know that he would be more than a mere 'politico'.

Too fucking bad. He's dead.

What else could I say?

3. It was a sad day for Wellstone supporters....
Today, I went to a Wellstone Memorial Service on my campus and honored one of the greatest men in politics. It's truly sad that America lost one of the most compassionate men this country has ever seen. He will surely be missed. :(

6. Careful
Any mourning activity must first receive the approval of the Republican National Committee and Fox News, lest it be "too political" or otherwise "inappropriate".

8. Good response.
I like your sense of humor. Unfortunately it's too close to reality.
