5. I was brought to tears when I heard it on NPR this morning...My daughter
asked me why I was crying...I told her "You know the Senator that we always see when we are at the grocery store?" Well, she just did something that was so special and important and Mommy is so happy and proud of her.....

BOXER is a GREAT AMERICAN! :hug:

44. I plan to teach my Pachababies well! Thanks for the nice words!
PS: Just got back from BC...we bought property in Rossland, BC...

So now I am proud to be not just a Californian, but a part-time resident of BC!

Who knows, if things are bad enough here, I may find myself a dual citizen....

:hi:

I would be proud to be a Californian and Canadian! :bounce:

And to have my daughters be US Senators.... :)

48. Thanks! We fell in love w/ Rossland! And given the events of today, we
might just become full time residents sooner than I thought.....

January 6th, 2005 - The Day Democracy and the Democratic Party Died in the United States of America....

The Canadians and residents of Rossland were awesome...they said they are expecting us....

:hi:

37. I think we should copy this whole thread and mail it to them.
Maybe even start a "note of Thanks" thread and do the same?

40. I am crying too, tears of joy, just like Tubbs-Jones. Even though I am
an optimist, sometimes I was afraid that this day would never come.

45. Send her Orange Roses
From: http://www.pdamerica.org

YOU DID IT! Senator Barbara Boxer is 100% confirmed to stand with the Representatives! The same people who didn't want your votes to count are now harassing Senator Boxer. You can show your support by sending her orange roses!

Send to:
112 HART SENATE OFFICE BUILDING
WASHINGTON DC 20510
