DU mentioned in my local paper (re: Sally Baron)

Our board was mentioned in my local paper (The Appleton Wisconsin Post-Crescent) today citing the Madison
story about Sally Baron. Thought you'd enjoy!


MADISON — The story of Sally Baron, a Stoughton woman whose obituary asked that memorial funds go toward the removal of President Bush, was catching hold across the country as her family held memorial services Friday.

Dozens of people from across the nation have written to The Capital Times in Madison saying they will make donations to various groups in her name, and the request was aired on national TV Thursday night.

Baron’s story is also being hotly discussed on online bulletin boards, among both liberals and conservatives.

Baron “has become a sort of poster girl for all of us who despise George Bush,” wrote Nancy Tonies of Appleton.

Online comment on the politically left Web site democraticunderground.com embraced Baron as a hero.

“We can’t lose now. We have a very special angel on our side,” a person posting under the name “shirlden” wrote.

Another said: “I am amazed at how much more hope, more peace I feel after reading the story of this family of such generous spirit. Too often I feel such despair about our current situation, but here just one wonderful story lifts me up.”

Ol' "whistleass" is toast!

I could use a Buzzflash hat.

If you PM me, I will give you the addresses for her kids to let them know about a donation.
