Do you really support Sen. Boxer? Election reform? read this please

[frictionlessO]

Ok, Ive never posted in GD:politics before. So very sorry, if most of you have no inclinations toward the following post.

we've set up a thank you site for Boxer, Conyers and all those who are fighting on the reform/fraud/disenfranchisement movement.

We are encouraging everyone who was proud of what happened on the 6th to send in thank you pics (like sorryeverybody.com), so far we only have about 40. The site also has a great links section, and links up to the many statements made and being made (i.e. we update frequently).

heres the site http://thankyoupatriot.com
heres where to send in a pic [e-mail]

this site was completely grass rooted here at DU!
heres a link with all the threads in order of appearance in ER&D '04.
(post number 86 has all the links back)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x289526#298460

after we get 100 pics I plan on starting a campaign to notify the officials on the site of its existence.

please help!!

thanks for any support!

1. repuke Sensenbrenner needs to be contacted as well

to allow the hearings to start. If and when Conyers gets the ok he will have authority to bring Blackwell, Feeney and all the rest into sworn testimony and full investigation.

3. I was thinking of asking the site builder Chili to add this on the

front page of the site, I think I will for sure now.

Thanks!!

5. I did this the other day!

22. And I am sure if you call him a

"repuke" in your letters to him that will make him run and give the ok to Conyers.

You hate him and call him names - yet you demand his cooperation. Does that seem a bit hypocritical?

[frictionlessO]

23. yikes! easy there fella! no reason to get flamey on this here thread

it about good stuff, like being thankful that a few politicians have some spine left. And showing some support!

Have you sent in a pic yet? Please do if you haven't.

[qwghlmian]

24. Sorry if it seems like a flame -

am just wondering why people who insist on calling Republicans names still expect cooperation from the "repukes".

[frictionlessO]

26. Well if Sensenbrenner holds the hearings I doubt most people

here will continue to call him that. I understand where you are coming from, but pleasantries go by the wayside fairly quick around DU. Sometimes I wish it werent so but I thoroughly understand it, as I have that kind of negativity about most neocons, myself. ... and no matter what they claim to be now if they voted for bushco they are neocons, in my book.

BTW Did you get a big ol' welcome to DU, yet?
:hi:

27. first off

I said nothing about calling him a repuke in a written letter and I also said nothing in the words of asking for his cooperation.

Telling him to do his job and asking for cooperation are totally two different things. You're right about calling him and others in his party repukes, I'm being too kind, "fascist boot licker" is much more appropriate.

behold, my Yang to your Yen!

2. Beautiful job. It keeps getting better and better

You and Chili are wonderful for taking the lead on this and allowing us to express our appreciation this way.
Thank you!
:dem:

Looking forward to seeing some more graphics going up.

10. Hi Kat! Wouldnt have been possible without the cheerleading

and postive response from you...and many others!

[oldtime dfl_er]

4. why wait til you have 100?

If there are 40 pics up now, publicity will get you lots more! I'll try to get something up soon. without a digital camera it takes longer ....

6. Me, too

I'll have to scan something and add some copy to it in Photoshop or Illustrator. I'll try to do it this week.

[frictionlessO]

9. Hope to see yours soon Sharon! BTW...

if you'd like can you give some of the text a once over when you get the chance? I know you volunteered proof reading skills so Id like to take advantage of that!

Thanks again for your support!

[SharonRB]

11. I noticed that Chili made the corrections

I had already pointed out. I'll try to peruse the rest of the site and see if anything else jumps out at me. I don't think I have a good current photo of myself, but I have one from about three years ago that might work.

[frictionlessO]

15. Thanks Sharon, it is most appreciated! nt

[SharonRB]

16. I took a quick look today

How picky do you want to get? I did notice some spacing and punctuation things that in a perfect world would be corrected. I'll have to take more time with it at some point, though, and document those if you want them.

On a quick look, the only real typo I saw was on the Links page. In the intro piece at the top, the word "site" is spelled "stie" the first time it's mentioned.

It will take too long to read all of the congressional statements -- time I don't usually have. I didn't know if you wanted all of those proofed as well. I assume you just want the site itself.

[frictionlessO]

17. Things like stie instead of site is exactly what Im looking for.

No needs to go over the statements or anything big like that, just the main text throughout the site like you've been doing I guess. Ignore spacing issues, I dont think that is too much of annoyance.

Thank you!!!

[frictionlessO]

8. ya know the number 100 is sorta just a goal...

I dont think we'll get any publicity from notifying the officials however... but who knows? Maybe Ill just start doing it anyway, I wanted it to be a little bit bigger in size but why not, eh.

I look very forward to seeing your pic posted!

[Untouchedalarm]

7. Officials

I hope you will send it to Republican officials as well. To show how awesome we are.

[frictionlessO]

12. well i would except that my tin foil hat reminds me that might

not be a grand idea just yet!

[Ms_Mary]

13. Done!

[frictionlessO]

14. Thank you very much Ms_Mary!!

I love seeing "done" in response!!

[GreenPoet64]

18. done! Great idea by the way!! n/t

[frictionlessO]

19. YAAAY!!! boy oh boy, Im really into seeing "done" on replies!

Its just the best!

Thanks for your pic!!

[sorechasm]

20. Done!

Saying 'Thank You' to all these guys is so much funner than the usual saying '*#%& You' to those * guys.

[frictionlessO]

21. LOL!!!! very very VERY true!!

Its realy quite thrilling!

[GreenPoet64]

25. You're So Very Welcome!
