Peyton And I Have Been On The Stump For Edwards Today

[Binka]

Handing out Monopoly money telling people how worthless their cash has become in corporate America, and Peyton made paper thermometers that say "is your health care sick?". We are having a bite of lunch then we are out again. We are on the streets of Santa Rosa CA. We are also talking about Iraq. Peyton is wearing a photo of Ben getting his purple heart, she is bringing the message of "my brother almost died in this mess, will you help to stop it now." Her slogan not mine. But I love it none the less.:thumbsup: Go Johnny Go!

My Edwards stumping princess:

[H2O Man]

26. Nominated.

Thank you & your family.

[Binka]

44. Always Good To Connect With You My Dear Friend

Even though we have never met face to face I feel a kinship with you that spans time and space. You are the brother I never had.

[H2O Man]

47. Thank you!

As I looked through the pictures of you family, I was remembering how painful it was for an intelligent, sensitive mother to have her son in Iraq. And I thought about how we had the opportunity to talk about how how scarey it was. It is good to see you back here at DU from time to time -- and it is nice to see Peyton! You are doing a great job!

Although we have not had the opportunity to talk as often as we did, the opportunity always presents itself again .... because it is always "now." And what you you just wrote means a lot to me!

Your Brother,
Pat

[Binka]

49. Indeed It Is Always "Now"

Being a single parent to a 6 year old at 48 presents its share of challenges and I love and cherish the camaraderie of a BIG thinker like yourself. I have been quite lonely of late for adult talk hence I've come back to DU to find friends. So glad you are here.

Your sister in the arena of life,

Mary Teresa

[Dogmudgeon]

27. That Peyton is going to make a lot of young men inconsolate ...

... the day she gets married.

:loveya:

And those Purple Hearts ... they sure are expensive, ain't they?

(Not that our Wise and Courageous C-in-C would know.)

--p!
C-in-C: "Crap in a chuckhole"

[Binka]

40. Great Day We Are Home Now! Lots Of Love For John Spread Today

We planted 6 yard signs and only had 2 negative responses. After which Peyton proclaimed quietly to me "what douche bags." It was a great day and we even had one elderly gent who said he did not know how to donate online so Pey and I went into his house and got on Johns site and pledged the money. 6 signs and a $200.00 donation. Wow. We did good by John today. Santa Rosa is ready for EDWARDS!
