Reply #339: There were things I didn't know in there. I teared up again.

I didn't post here when your fundraising campaign started. I read about it on DailyKos and donated from that. After attending the voting workshop in Columbus, I started posting here and was quite impressed with the generosity of DUer's in helping Andy. Since I'd met him and some of the others involved, helping him became more of a personal interest so I followed the threads and sent in a second donation.

Then there began to be questions and someone mentioned threads at that other place. I looked. At that point I was just surprised that people did that - spent their days reading posts on one site to make fun of on another. I kept reading as it got worse - sort of like watching a train wreck. It was hard to comprehend that people would go to such effort, go so low and hate so much. They bragged of calling neighbors of Andy and his friends trying to find dirt, calling Johns Hopkins (I wonder how the hospital handled all those idiots), etc., etc.

I didn't know they messed with his Washington Medicaid. That's what made me cry again. I usually cry once every 2-3 years and now it's been twice in a few weeks. Ruining my record here.
