I remember DUers pitching in and buying roses for Helen Thomas [View all]

as she was the ONLY reporter challenging Bush Co. about the Iraq War and his bs weapons of mass destruction lies.

I think our speaker deserves the same for her courageous leadership, among other things.

I'd love to chip in if someone would take the lead on this (DC based so that they can oversee delivery to her office).

Just a thought.
