[Adelante]

4. I don't believe in expressed deadlines

But I am sure as hell proud of Senator Kerry for speaking way out this way. :thumbsup:

[nolies32fouettes]

8. I understand completely.

But we can not continue with the 'just give us 6 more months and then....'

8 months later and 1000's of deaths later,

"give us six more months then..."


There's never any progress. No matter how many six month intervals we give them.

[nolies32fouettes]

5. 7 more to go until 30,000... come on DU!

[iilana X]

[nolies32fouettes]

44. 30286 keep the k/r's coming. We need more kickers for the Westies.

[nolies32fouettes]

46. 30291 seems stuck. Surely other westies can co-sign too!

[nolies32fouettes]

47. I've emailed my list--that's 20 people. How many did you email?

Let's make a difference.

[Unbowed]

50. Not stuck now. It's at 30,368

The good senator cracks me up. This from his site had me :rofl:

Listed below are all the United States Senators and their contact information.

Please contact your Senators and tell them you’re co-signing Senator Kerry’s Set a Deadline legislation.

If they’re already co-sponsors, thank them for what they’re doing. John Kerry’s legislation will soon be voted on.

Last time Senator Kerry introduced legislation to Set a Deadline to re-deploy our troops from Iraq, only 13 Senators voted in favor.

This time let’s make sure the bill is passed and sent to the President for his signature.

After you contact your Senators, please email us and let us know what they say. If you’re a blogger, write a post and send along a link.

What a card that Sen. Kerry! "email us and let us know what they say"

This is too good. He sure ain't out to win any senate popularity contests. Haha!

[nolies32fouettes]

53. 30,444! Thanks for unsticking it Westies (and Easties!)

And of course he's not concerned about a popularity contest. (tee hee) he did call Lieberman a Republican.

(Would love to see Leiberman's face!)

ha ha ha

And the troops love him which really pisses off the Repubians.

[ray of light]

I demanded an end to the war economy and profiteering off of the suffering of others.

[ray of light]

13. agreed! Thanks for co-sponsoring.

[_dynamicdems]

9. It was a good day on the radio.

Kerry was in terrific form. He sure let it rip.

We truly need to take some hard and fast action on this damn war. There is too much apathy. People need to take action.

SetADeadline.com is a great place to start! JUST SIGN IT!

[ray of light]

25. For sure! I've emailed it to everyone I know. Sure wish..

I had a bigger email list!

[bdamomma]

10. done and kicked

[ray of light]

21. Thanks! You've got tons of hearts. someone must love you!

[MBS]

14. what did he say about Lieberman?

I somehow missed that comment.. .please do tell!

[ray of light]

16. well...he only called him a...

Republican!

muahahahahaha! Now that's speaking the truth!

http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/blogtalkradio/kerry021207.wax

[beachmom]

17. Yes, that "man from Connecticut". I think Kerry really, really

wanted Lamont to win in Conn.

[ray of light]

18. yeop! He fought really hard for him and for Webb and Tester and

McGasgill, Sustek, Murphey, etc. (Is that how it's spelled?) Lot's more too. But Kerry was one of the first for Lamont immediately following the primary he donated time and money to him.

[Island Blue]

19. I loved it when he said that!

Sen. Kerry scored a hat-trick today with three terrific interviews!

[blm]

55. I'd like to hear the way he talks about Lieberman AWAY from a mic....heheh.

Probably sounds alot like ..... us.

[ray of light]

81. He's smart. He knows something ain't right with Lieberman.

And Lieberman's wife is a lobbyist now for the medical industry. So I imagine Kerry sees more than most poeple realize.

[wildflowergardener]

20. Thanks

Great interview.

Meg

[ray of light]

22. kiddies call--please keep the thread kicked and rec!

I'm sure our soldiers will appreciate all we do to get them home asap!

[ray of light]

23. one last kick 30, 080 keep it climbing!

[ray of light]

24. kick

[TayTay]

26. We should sign this pledge

We need to keep the war at the center of the debate in the Congress and we need strong pressure to make sure that withdrawal stays in the debate.

Sigh up. Make 'em do what they said they would do in the last election, oppose the war.

[ray of light]

29. Right on!

[fedupinBushcountry]

27. Three great interviews today

The setadeadline needs to be spread far and wide. We need to show our voices. You can click on my setadeadline icon below and sign up now.

52. 30,384....

I loved what Kerry said, ..."As you know I’m not leading a campaign for the presidency in 2008. Instead I have chosen to campaign to end the war in Iraq and protect America".

[nolies32fouettes]

67. I know. It takes real courage and integrity to do this.

Remember how Bush was 'All hat and no cattle"? or something like that.

Well Kerry def. has both!

[Doondoo]

65. T-Shirts, Stickers & more.

Merchandise with the URL for Set a Deadline:

http://www.cafepress.com/setadeadline

This black on white design was requested by several DU members, but I'll be working to put up other styles and add new merchandise over the next couple of days. There are also shirts and stickers with the "How do you ask a man.." JK quotation from 1971.

These items are being offered without markup in order to promote the mission to end the war.

[nolies32fouettes]

66. I wish there was one with a flag and/or with a flagdraped casket too

[_dynamicdems]

76. That can be done.

I have flag draped casket and military funeral clip art that can be made into something derivative, probably white silhouettes on black.

[hibiscus]

90. OT... a message for all the wonderful kerrycrats...

I do not have a star so I cannot post a message to all of you in the John Kerry Group.

I have been lurking for quite a long time in DU (since Nov 2004 just after the 2004 election when I felt so lost about the loss, you know what I mean). You may not believe it, I have read all your Kerry-related posts in DU and I feel like I know all of you very well by your DU usernames.

On a special day like today, I just can't resist registering my username with DU so that I can wish all of you a very "Happy Valentines Day"!!!

[blm]

92. Wow....this is an honor to welcome such a longtime lurker.

You must have amazing self-control. Heh......

Happy Day back at you.

[karynnj]

93. Welcome to DU - or more accurately

posting to DU, as you've been here all along.

[beachmom]

94. Nice to see you commenting, Hibiscus, and welcome to DU!

It's always interesting to see a lurker come out into the light!

[ginnyinWI]
