Thank you Massachusetts for sending us Elizabeth Warren. We really need a voice like hers in Washington.
Thank you conservative Montana and North Dakota for thinking broadly and sending us two Blue Senators.
Thank you Tammy Duckworth for kicking that sad sack of crap's ass.
Thank you, the other Tammy, for keeping a gay voice in current politics. We'll miss Barney but you will sure make us fell a whole lot better!
Ohio, you showed those billionaire psychopaths that they could not buy your state or our Democracy. Thank you.
Thank you Washington and Maryland for being the bookends that frame gay America. I look forward to filling in the next 48 volumes in the story.
Florida, it looks like you are tossing out Allen West, thank you for removing that cancer and also thank you for all the delicious oranges and for Alan Grayson.
President Obama, Mrs. Obama, The Bidens, Thank you for being a class act with nerves of steel to stand up to the onslaught that Citizens United brought forth against our Democracy. We might not realize it now but we are the generation that stood up to the largest threat that American Democracy has ever seen. Thank you for leading us through that dark time.
And finally, thank you my DU brothers and sisters. When I stumbled upon DU a few years ago I had no idea that such a place existed. I was sick of the lies of CNN, sick of every news outlet I knew of slanting us further and further towards a Corporate Theocracy and then I stumbled upon DU. And you have taught me well. You have linked me to a world of truth in politics populated by people just like myself. People who just want the truth and a fair playing field. Even when we were at our most savage to Mitt it was because of his choices and his actions. I grew up with Christians who hated "Cultists" (Mormons) and, believe me, their religion is an easy target for mockery. Yet we rarely went there (if it weren't for the magic underpants not much would have been said at all).
You are a class act DU. You have educated me well. You are a fine bunch of peeps, so thank you for being in my life. It is a richer place because of you.
Merci!
