I cannot tell you how proud I am to be a Californian right now.

[Vektor]

Absolutely NO offense intended to all of you in the other forty-nine states, but I am so proud of Barbara Boxer.

The one Senator that objected, the one Senator that voted to uphold that objection. She has put herself on the chopping block and rendered herself a black sheep for a party that all but turned it's back on her.

I give credit to the few who stood and promoted voting reform, but that's just icing with no cake, I'm afraid.

Perhaps we all could send a fax/email or call Ms. Boxer and thank her for this astounding sacrifice. She really has put her ass on the line.

[Stop Shrub]

1. i too am proud

im glad that i can call her my senator

[genius]

2. Yeh! We've got Barbara!. What do you think? Pres or VP?

[Vektor]

20. She needs to be President.

She has bigger balls than any politician I have ever seen.

[Amaryllis]

26. President. She's got balls. And principles.

[Vektor]

31. In great abundance! :-)

[NVMojo]

3. she did you and us proud ...

[nichole7642]

5. Boxer AND Waters!

I too am proud to be a resident of the Golden State!

[Vektor]

30. Where were my manners?

of course, Waters rocks, too.

[Der Blaue Engel]

4. Barbara Boxer is an American Hero

I am a very proud Californian. And I'm proud of the non-naysayers (the yea-sayers?) at DU who helped make this happen.

:loveya:

[katinmn]

6. you are fortunate. Thanks for electing her!

[tmooses]

7. I remember her when she showed up at my door in Marin campaigning

for Board of supervisors-she's come a long way. I am proud of what she has done but never more proud of what she did today.

[Vektor]

23. I will never forget this.

What a brave woman.

[meganmonkey]

8. The other 49 states, you mean?

;)

Unless you're just giving DC the props they deserve! No taxation without representation!!!

[Vektor]

15. Lemme fix that!

:-)

[Miami Liberal]

9. She is an inspiration

:loveya:

[Firespirit]

10. HECK YEAH!

I've forgiven your state for Gropenfuehrer now.

She will definitely be hearing from me! That took guts. What a LADY!

[JoMama49]

11. Your Welcome!

[Jadeblue]

13. I just called her office!

I called her Sacramento office at 916-448-2787 and THANKED her!

She makes us all proud!! What a woman!

[strangesttribe]

12. agreed

I'm going to call her office, again, and thank her. She has more balls and is more patriotic than most of her colleagues all lumped together.

[Woodstock Liberal]

14. I'm from NJ but Sen. Boxer will always get $ contributions from me

She is a gift to our country!

[Pachamama]

22. She sells great "Boxers" - I wear them and the Jammies to bed-now I will

daily! I'm going to buy them for everyone I know!

Go Boxer! :bounce:

[EFerrari]

16. Me, too, Vektor. I can hardly believe she did it. This has been

a great day. No matter how they spin it in the media, today was a definite step out of the pathetic ditch the Dems have been in for four years. I registered Green when they failed to stand with the black caucus last time.

When they see how much support Barbara gets, the whole party will be revitalized. Watch.

[Vektor]

28. I know what you mean...

My husband is Green. I may switch in light of recent events, but will continue to vote for Boxer...we'll see what they drum up for Democratic presidential candidates.

Any Senator that did not support Boxer, who runs for President, I will seriously consider not voting for.

[Firespirit]

29. Amen!!

Remember November, when ALL the coverage was about "conspiracy theories"?

Then we got some Representatives to listen to us, and begin an investigation. An investigation that continues. That was a preliminary status report.

Then we got some Senators to stand up and speak most eloquently, and one to vote.

And I wouldn't be shocked if, when -- WHEN -- the investigations finish, they find the proof of massive electronic fraud.

Election fraud and reform has gone MAINSTREAM.

THANK YOU SENATOR BOXER, REP. CONYERS, REP. TUBBS-JONES, AND ALL WHO STOOD!

:toast:

[Doremus]

17. CALIFORNIA AND CALIFORNIANS ROCK

Thank you for your solidarity.

May other states follow your excellent example.

[Straight Shooter]

18. As your neighbor from Oregon, I am totally envious!

Boxer will get my campaign donations, not Wyden. He didn't go far enough. Can't believe he left her there, twisting in the Repub wind.

Still can't decide if I should vote for him or not. I'll probably abstain. Faint heart never won fair lady :)

[Pachamama]

19. If I had another daughter, I'd name her "Barbara Boxer"...and my 2 girls

have met her and she will serve as a role model for them....

I am so proud of her and to call her my Senator... :hug:

[alexisfree]

21. California Love!!!

B-) done!!!! I just call the Sac. office

[Amaryllis]

24. Already did, before it even started. told her she was a hero.

[crispini]

25. Yep.

:kick:

[Maat]

27. Proud to be a Californian ...

Barbara Boxer and Maxine Waters are the greatest. Never been prouder.

[Pithy Cherub]

32. Humble & Happy Californian here!

Absolutely loving her bravery in the lion's den today! Go Senator Boxer!!!!!!

[loritooker]

33. I am proud of Barbara Boxer!

Anything she wants from me, she's got it.
