ThankYouPatriot.com is now live!

[greenmutha]

Chili posted this to the bottom of the "Last Call for Links" thread awhile ago:


It's up, it's live, it's no longer Memorex.

There are some photos I haven't gotten to yet from yesterday because I was uploading the site to the domain... so anyone who does not see their photo, I will get to it tonight. I've got to get some sleep now, though, LOL - I stayed up all night finishing it.

If you see any broken links, let me know (if you can, though, check to make sure it's not just a burp by refreshing or right-clicking on the graphic and choosing "show picture" - then it is a definite broken link).

*passing out*

PS - doh, forgot to say, the new link is:

http://thankyoupatriot.com

[helderheid]

1. WOOT!

[frictionlessO]

19. Heya Helderheid where on Randi? I went and looked and

couldnt find it....:(

[helderheid]

38. Love the new avatar!

I was at my favorite spot "heared on the show" :)

[helderheid]

40. here is the thread

http://www.therandirhodesshow.com/randirhodes/messageboards/index.php?showforum=22

[frictionlessO]

50. Thanks, just went and gave a creative bump for it!

[helderheid]

[sabra]

3. Amazing job! Thanks for doing this... n/t

[frictionlessO]

4. please any of you blasters out there aim this page at media! also

inform anyone you know that blogs or has a site that is posting on the issue of election reform/fraud!!

Congratulations everybody!!! Today DU gave birth to yet another website!!

[helderheid]

5. I sent it to MM and posted to R.Rhodes forum

[frictionlessO]

6. Thanks Helderheid!

Ill head over to RR after work today and see that its kicked... I wonder if MM would link us? He is such an icon now... I think Id just melt....

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. Yeah!!!!! Thank you for the heads up, and Thank You to Chili,

Fric and everyone else who helped with this site!!!

[New Earth]

8. uh oh

Chili's gonna hate me but, the description next to David Cobb is wrong :( Cobb/Bardnarik officially nor legally had anything to do with the citizens case to contest the election. They only requested recounts and a had a few lawsuits involving the recounts.

Cliff Arnebeck/Susan Truitt/Bob Fitrakis are the ones that filed the contest. Actualy, those 3 should have their own Hall of Fame section too! They rule! - oh, i see Fitrakis and Arnebeck are on there.

Is there room for anymore? Could you have one for Susan Truitt, John Bonifaz, Rev. Bill Moss?

uh oh again. i see grammatical errors :( lol i'm sorry i always do this shit!!! i would like to help you if i can, i see typos and stuff.

[frictionlessO]

9. Hi Faye please forward all this info to Chili, Im sure she'll fix it up

real quick like when she wakes up from her most well deserved slumber.

We are hoping and relying on our fellow DUers to find mistakes and notify us, so thank ya!!

[New Earth]

10. another thing i noticed

John Bonifaz wasn't a lawyer on the contest case, he was on the Recount case. Oh, he is really cute in person :hi:

[frictionlessO]

11. LOL... you crack me up! Like I said though make sure to PM Chili with

your observations, I would normally but it sounds like your eyes and her fingers need to be working in sync without an intermediary bewteen you...

Thanks again Faye! You rock!

[New Earth]

18. i think she already fixed it

not sure if she figured it out herself, but some of the things i mentioned seem to have been fixed.

sorry for being so critical!

[marions ghost]

12. Beautiful, fantastic, wonderful

Great pages, great links. I will start sending it out today.
All I can say is you Chili and all u who made thankyoupatriot happen:

:yourock:

[frictionlessO]

14. where are ya gonna send it out too?

[Twist_U_Up]

13. Super Job !!!

Too Kewl

[Coexist]

15. Awesome! Will distribute it immediately!

[frictionlessO]

16. go on wit yo bad self then!

[MelissaB]

17. Beautifully done!

Sending out and around. Thank you!!

[Lisabtrucking]

20. Very, Very Nice. Thank you Chili. Great Job. n/t

[frictionlessO]

21. Tell us where you are all spreading the word!

That keeps this thread kicked and provides an oppurtunity to help us support threads on other boards... as well as getting to kick this again when we respond to your posts!

Pleeeeeeeeeease.:bounce:

[Coexist]

22. sent to Velvet Revolution

Tried to post to RR, but my absence from the boards seems to have made me a non-member. Someone else mentioned posting it there, I just went to kick, but couldn't find it. Also emailed it to about 300 people.

[Coexist]

23. oh, and micheal moore, too. (again)

I think the link on his site really helped sorryeverybody.com

[frictionlessO]

24. I think Michael really helped that effort as well....

boy oh boy oh boy I hope some of these other sites link up to us!

[greenmutha]

27. Pssst... I sent it to Keef this morning!

I also emailed John Conyers to let him know and thank him again for getting the ball rolling with the challenge.

[frictionlessO]

28. Right On! We need to email all the officials & tell them that it is up!!

Im sure they'd really enjoy getting a little flood of love mail and positive phone calls!!

Wow Keef! I wonder if he'll see your letter....

[corbett]

25. GORGEOUS! SUPERB!

Do happen to know why Kendrick Meek didn't vote for the challenge? He was the Florida chair of the Kerry campaign and ran unopposed for reelection.

[frictionlessO]

26. sorry could you be clearer?

Are you saying you happen to know, or asking do we happen to?
:shrug:

[phantomvotes]

29. GREAT

BALLS OF ORANGE! Thank you!
I'll post my pic as soon as I get my scanner to work.

Have you seen the Sun flares? it's spitin orange at us.
http://breakfornews.com/

[corbett]

62. Hoping You Knew Off The Top Of Your Head

As I read the vote list, Mr. Meek abstained. He may have been at the funeral but I was hoping that you knew the reason for sure.

[frictionlessO]

63. sorry I dont know... keep digging around though and Im sure

you'll find out... hell you may have already!

[frictionlessO]

30. I think this deserves another kick! Check out the site folks! nt

[meganmonkey]

31. Kick!

[mirandapriestly]

32. That is so cool

It makes me feel so proud, like democracy still has a chance.

[frictionlessO]

33. I have felt rather bouyed by this and the other projects

that were inspired by the 6th!!

Glad you share in that particular glow!

[mordarlar]

34. How do people off DU add photos?

[frictionlessO]

35. Hi Mordarlar!

send em in to [e-mail]
or use the contact link at thankyoupatriot.com (I believe it's still the same addy for now)....

please feel free to take this offsite now, we are counting on DUers and the blogger/news site people to help us get this out there.

[mordarlar]

44. : D thank you frictionlessO. You always make me smile.

[Lauri]

36. Great Job! Thanks for doing this. n/t

[frictionlessO]

37. Thanks for your support! Did you send a pic? nt

[helderheid]

39. this is post 39

Why no flames on the icon I wonder??
:shrug:

[greenmutha]

48. How many posts does it need

to get flames? (I've been wondering the same thing myself! Great minds think alike...) :hi:

[frictionlessO]

51. its 20 or 30 and we are burning up again! I think it was a DU wide thing.

I was wondering about it myself yesterday!
lol...

[LeahD]

41. Beautiful Site

When I feel the wheels of justice aren't rolling quickly enough, I can visit this site and be inspired by those who aren't willing to settle for the status quo. You honor them with this site. Thank you.

[helderheid]

42. LeahD

Hope you sent a pic of you! We need an overwhelming amount. :)

[frictionlessO]

61. very very inspiring words Leah! that is exactly what we hope visitors

will think of the site!!

Thank you!

[RaulVB]

43. Bookmarked!

Really nice!

[KaryninMiami]

45. Beautiful and WOW-- I'm spreading it around!

Great work!

[frictionlessO]

52. Thanks very much Karyn we need people to do what youre doing badly

Encourage others to do the same!!

[KaryninMiami]

54. I sent it out today to my newsletter list!

Off to Washington I go!

Take good care!

Karyn

[frictionlessO]

58. I really wish I couldve gone to the corronation as well!

What newsletter though?
Thanks for that!

[Chili]

46. I'm living breathing proof that sleep deprivation...

...causes brain dysfunction.

:p

I didn't even provide a way to send in photos - DOH!

Fixed it!

Thanks Faye, and all of you, for your input! Working on it so closely, I easily miss the forest for the trees, and sometimes the branches and leaves too, LOL.

If a video of Sen. Boxer giving it to Rice today becomes available, I want to add that too... perfect timing!

We can add new events every time someone stands up and speaks out - it'll be like a constant pat-on-the-back from the public. If these last couple of months has taught us anything, it's that our reps in Congress DO listen if we speak up... and when we don't, they either do what they want, or don't do anything. After all, that's why they're there, they're supposed to be working for us. And some of them actually WORK.

Thanks to you all!

*going to bed!*

[frictionlessO]

47. Chili your replies are always full of good humor

for one that is sooooooo tired! This is dedication to a cause!!

[greenmutha]

49. Chili...

:yourock: Thanks for all you have done. I agree about Boxer video "giving it" to Rice, that would be a GREAT addition!

[KaliTracy]

53. wow, wow, wow. Thanks! Did notice one link problem, it's 12:30

PM ohio time here (Wed the 19th) -- (meaning you might fix it before you read this).

On the gallery page there is one red X image. If you click on it, it brings up the homepage in the separate/pop-up window. I have a screen shot if you need to see it, but can't send out e-mail at work. Don't really want to post it here, but I can if you need. Not a biggie -- web/content design is NEVER finished.... (I've got two sites that I am so behind on updating and they are both less than 12 months old....). My Hat (if I wore one) goes off to you for how quickly you put together this Very professional, Very informative site! Kudos to all who helped!

:toast:

[frictionlessO]

55. post the screenshot here please... Im getting a bug/suggestion report

together for her tonight (I usually just get her an update every day or so but today there have been a lot of good catches)...

Its actually easier for me to put em together by threads rather than PMs.

Thanks for pointing this out! We need people like you looking the site over, its a tremendous help!

[KaliTracy]

71. it's been fixed. n/t

[f4tc4t]

56. Added to my links page...

Added this site to my political links page. It is not much but it is all I can do. My page has been crawled by google, so it will be another link pointing to your site. I also added the randi rhodes forum along side the link to her already existing radio show link. Also added the 'break for news' site.
My links pages have over 1425 links to political, news and government sites.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for your effort to hightlight the work of people who are standing up to this administration and are trying to make a difference...

With Respect

85. Fab! KICK! n/t

[frictionlessO]

86. DEAR EVERYONE!!! READ THIS POST!!! PLEASE!!

Skinner has posted this thread and a link to thankyoupatriot on the homepage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I wanted to thank Chili in a very noticeable way so sorry for the shouting. Chili has been awesome and more even. I don't know who to describe the feelings I have for her and her work thats shes done. I cry when I think on how many days she probably shorted herself of nearly any sleep, of how she volunteered up so quickly, of how quickly she bought the domain. I'm choked up as I write this, Chili is way too humble IMHO and she'll probably just laugh this off with an "aw shucks", but Chili YOU ARE A PATRIOT dammit! I can think of no more honorable thing to call you.

I also personally want to very much thank Ommmmm, Helderheid, Peace Patriot, FLDem5, Mordarlar, MeganMonkey, Greenmutha, and a whole slew of you all that helped keep this kicked and complimented!!! You all rock very much indeed!

A few quick things I figured out about this and all the other threads we started. Over a 120 different posters (not posts) gave us positive feedback and encouragement to do this.

Out of the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of posts on all the threads not a single negative comment!! Which is in itself a small miracle here at DU!! I at least expected someone to post a comment about how tired they are of seeing these damn thankyoupatriot threads all the time on the front page of Election Results '04.

Finally for all of you that have not sent in a pic, please try and do so... send here [e-mail]
Please spread the word to anyone you know who might be into this!! We need all the help we can get!!

Oh and for posterity sake heres the list of threads started in ER&D '04 for this in chronological order.

Thanks again everyone for your incredible support!!!

[Chili]

90. *seriously blushing*

WE the people did it - we demanded that we be heard, and we were - it's an incredible moment in history that only us, at the moment, recognize. It was an honor to do it, and I'm soooo glad you all decided on a design within a few hours (LOLOLOL!) You all made it so easy to do!

THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT!

It was my pleasure.

And thank you FrictionlessO, you have been phenomenal in giving me updates... BIG THANK YOU for that! And thank you also to Dano, who was very helpful, and who I may still have to lasso if high volume gets too much!

I just hope that our elected officials take notice... that we SUPPORT those who listen to us, and who speak for us... that it's a give-and-take relationship that must flow reciprocally... or else they're not doing their jobs.

Okay. Going to take a nap. :p

THANK YOU all for your support, I'm really appreciative of all of you!

:hi:

[Vektor]

96. I'd like to thank her too...

Thank you, and GREAT work. It looks beautiful!

[Chili]

Was a great feeling!!

Get the word out people!! This can work!!

[RadicalMom]

95. Bravo! Very fine, indeed! Been writing Boxer, it seems almost

daily, and this is tremendous. Do you know if any of the Patriots have seen this yet?

[frictionlessO]

99. Im going to start calling them this weekend... Im hoping at least a

few will see this, if nothing else maybe some of their workers will take comfort in the site.

[Paradise]

97. OMG, It's wonderful! Thank you! n/t

[ohio_liberal]

98. Bug Report

I'm using Firefox and when I click the gallery thumbnails it opens to the homepage in a new browser.

[frictionlessO]

100. Yep, we noticed that on macs running netscape as well.

Chili be working on it! Thanks for reporting!!

[danostuporstar]

102. i think it's just the recently added photos

are missing the period before the jpg extension.

[Chili]

104. alright, see, you are da bomb finding these kinks...

Thank you! I eyeballed the code 'til I was cross-eyed this morning trying to see what the heck was causing that.

Thanks for the tip! (and FO, are you still having that other problem, with the double windows opening?)

[frictionlessO]

105. sho nuff, Chili... extra browser window plus smaller popup... nt

[Chili]

103. sorry about that, I think it's fixed...

[frictionlessO]

110. wha!? it shouldnt be empty, theres like 57 pics now! oh Chili might be

updating, thats gotta be it! I hope so anyways:tinfoilhat:
Im just waiting for it to get freeped soon... so Im a bit paranoid!

Faye you and Dzika did an incredible job with that vid!! Im so freeaking proud of you two. Its that kind of thing thats going to
turn this around. The neoconazi would've paid at least 2.5million for something like that but here we have activist that just care that much damnit!!!

You're a patriot and Im so glad you're pic was first at thankyoupatriot.com!!

Dont ever stop and never give up!

[New Earth]

112. hmm

i wonder if it's cuz i'm looking at it in firefox? some pages don't display content correctly for some reason when i use firefox. i'll try it in IE and see if the pics show up.

thanks for the kind words. i actually credit the people here at DU for inspiring me to get active.

[New Earth]

113. WTF? THEY DON'T SHOW IN IE EITHER!!

:( i don't get it. none of the pics are showing up :(

[frictionlessO]

114. I just went and checked on IE they came up but took a really long time

to load and Im on a T1 here... Maybe its getting some increased traffic at the moment! That'd make us very happy.

[Midlodemocrat]

109. I will happily spread this to the other mods and

everyone else I know. Thanks for doing this!

[frictionlessO]

111. Thank you so very very very much Midlodem!

Make sure you convey how badly we need and want pics this site will never go anywhere with out at least another hundred pics, we need that critical mass before we begin blasting media and notifying the officials on the site.

Any helpful hints and ideas from people experienced in PR would be most welcome as well!!

Thanks so much, again!!

[tommcintyre]
