I received a Handwritten note thanking me for my LTTE from Sherrod Brown!

[blue sky at night]

Ohio 13th District House Representative Sherrod Brown made my day. He told me that I had a very good letter to the editor (on KKKarl), he asked me to keep speaking out, that "we need you now, more than ever"! I think that is so awesome that number one; he read the letter and agreed, he then took the time to track me down, followed up with a handwritten letter to me. WOW! I am going to email him and ask him what I can do to help dethrone my 14th District incumbent "the STEVEN" LaTourette...who BTW, called me personally after I ripped his staffer on a voice mail when the gas went up 50 cents in one day, last week! Hmmm...perhaps "the STEVEN" is getting worried...perhaps the handwriting is on the wall!! So let this be a lesson to us all, get on the phone, get the emails going and start using your anger to hold some feet to the FIRE!

5. Cool! Good job! As DUer merh, who lost her home in the storm, said

"Each one of us that stone that is tossed into the pond, each one of us tossing stones into the pond that is DU. We come here to learn, to share, to vent and to encourage and our actions, our posts, our arguments and our agreements ripple out and touch each other just as we are touched by the ripples of others."

Congrats on your LTTE, blue sky at night! Feels good, doesn't it! Never doubt that what you do is important. Actions and communication is EXTREMELY important. You never know what you touch with ripples when you toss a stone into the water of the collective consciousness.

here is link to merh's great ripple post, we need to remember always: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1768573

if anybody manages to talks to merh this week, tell her the ripples are big time surges now! Give her my love.
