A big welcome to new DU'ers...drop in and say HI!
Anytime there is a big event, many new people show up at DU. While some were disruptors this week, the vast majority were some awfully cool people just finding out about us, or longtime lurkers coming out of the woodworks to participate. Whenever we have a new influx of people, I am heartened by the nubers swelling in our ranks that KNOW WE MUCT work together to pull back from the hard right turn this country has taken...so drop on in....

Have a :beer:

Tell us about you


tell us about some of your favorite things!

and allow us all to welcome you!

:hi:

5. So. You're a Casual _Observer?
Just remember there's nothing casual about my observing you, pal! One step out of line and it's curtains for you, comrade!

4. Best recurring character EVER
My family quotes him constantly. He has a line for every occasion.

CF: "Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don't know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion." (said through gritted teeth.)

2. I'm new
I would have been here earlier - I just found a link to this site on another site. I am now spending about half my day here!

I'm from Vermont originally (live in CA now) and have always been very political - I love rural Vermont and the Town Meeting form of government. I was thrilled when Howard Dean joined the race and I was an avid supporter of his candidacy. (Big kudos to Jim Jeffords as well) I am firmly behind Kerry because I think he's a good man and can begin to bring this country back to where it needs to go.

I hope this posts - I've been having trouble all morning, posting and finding that they don't show up. Very strange.

8. I made his day!
This am, just outside Winnipeg, I passed a car with Nebraska plates. He had a bumper sticker that read Anybody But Bush. I honked the horn and gave him the thumbs up sign. As the smiling driver passed me he was honking and waving madly.....

12. I'n new...and I'll have a vodka gimlet with a twist o' lime!
Hello! I am Jana from Austin, Texas. I have been lurking for close to a year, I finally registered just a few weeks ago.

I am a leftie that supports John Kerry. I enjoy this site because I feel like the people here are so much more considerate and intellegent.

I came to your site on the recomendation from a fellow DU'er, his name is SAGAN! If your out there Sagan.... HI!!!

Anyway, thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community.

*GULP*

* tip bartender*

Thank you!

Don't be shy! We were all new at one point... :hi:

I'm in San Francisco (obviously :eyes: ). It's the great liberal "bubble" of America; they don't call it the "left coast" for nothin'! :thumbsup:

How "left" is it where you live??
