If you consider this man's EPIC contribution to the country, the tenacity, the 'sprinting a marathon' to get the full distance of his convictions...just....let it...sink in....there are no words to show how big this is.

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
