8. Yep, we're proud of him
My brother said he was ready with his driver's license and several utility bills to help establish his residency in case he was challenged.

He's also become an AAR fan and my brother reads him stuff from DU. Thanks to all who helped encourage people like my father that it was time to fight back.

P.S. My dad has two Purple Hearts from the Korean War. The SBVT helped get him energized.

6. CNN reported that 1 in 7 voters today didn't
vote in 2000. Lots of new voters and they are swinging towards Kerry.
