Question for DU newbies:

Edited on Wed Jun-30-04 03:02 PM by Beware the Beast Man

How many of you are here because you saw Fahrenheit 911 over the weekend? I've noticed a lot of you in the forums lately. If most of you are sincere about jumping on board, this is definitely a good sign!
EDIT: If it wasn't F911, then what else swayed you?

By the way my wife joined Friday night but has yet to post!

1. I haven't seen F911 yet - does it mention DU?

3. I did not notice DU in F911

But somewhere I saw that there has been an uptick in anti-war and/or liberal web sites.

4. Nope, but DUers may be recruiting

I know I did. Asked the crowd if there were any DUers in the theater before it started. Hooked up with some Moveon.org people afterwards and told them about the this lil place.

7. I thought about doing that

But I didn't see any "organized" folks line MoveOn wandering around, nor could I give a shout-out to DU in a packed theater, though I was tempted.

2. Nope, sorry

I've been lurking for weeks... But I did see F9/11 opening night wearing my MoveOn blue. :-)

5. Welcome to DU!

Hope you enjoy the conversation. How long did you lurk? For me, it was a few months.

8. I think it did

I lurked for a couple of months back when I was first getting excited about the Dean campaign. Since then, I got a little busy and forgot about DU. F911 definitely reminded me of my priorities, so I decided to join.
