9. It has only been ONE YEAR?

OMG - I need a big break from all this stuff. I feel like 3 years have passed since that tragic day.

Aren't we supposed to make this anniversary a day of MUSIC? To memorialize the Wellstones through music?

11. Last year, people were on their way to DC.....

...and this year...many of us are on the way to DC once again to get involved and to express ourselves.

Seems very fitting.

14. I will Light a Candle

in remembrance of Paul Wellstone. My son JUST learned "Amazing Grace" in guitar class...He will play it in honor of Paul Wellstone. There is a Music Concert in honor of Mr. Wellstone....asking everyone to play music to celebrate his life.

Unfortunately, we can only imagine what he would say about Iraq....I can see him now on the Senate floor telling it like it is. He was so animated and REAL in giving his speeches. <sigh> I really miss him. :(

15. He was a first class human being

and there aren't that many, especially in public life.

16. I think if he were alive he'd be standing next to Ted Kennedy

and agreeing with everything he's said (or Ted would be standing next to Paul while Paul said it)

[MinnFats]

17. he would have been raising holy hell about this gawdawful mess...

at least that's my take.

18. I could imagine him

tag-teaming with Robert Byrd to denounce the Iraq War.
