Gads...now that it has happened, I am *exhausted*
All the blood in my body feels like it is dropping into my feet. I've been on adrenaline and coffee for two weeks, and now...must...keep...head...elevated...

:)

I figure once the hearing starts, I will wake up.

I am so proud of everyone here who pitched in and got this done. Heroes. patriots. Americans.

4. Suggestion:
Double-shots from Starbucks. Intraveanous. Straight up the mainline.

;-)

And tonight, cocktails. Many. In profusion. And a good meal with good folks. Laughter. Witty repartee. Hilarity.

7. Great job. Now, rest up so you'll be able to drink that champagne soon
You know, the champagne that you promised us should this result in Junior's eviction from the WH. ;)

12. It hasn't actually happened yet -- we need you
to stay awake and keep us informed! Thanks for everything, Will. We couldn't have done it without you -- you've been a cheerleader and inspiration, not to mention our "fly on the wall." Now the real work will really begin.

14. Thanks so much Will
I feel like this is an episode of the old PBS show "YOU WERE THERE", watching history unfold right before my eyes!

Rest a bit now. It's going to get crazier before it gets quiet!

17. As you said many days ago
it is a great time to be alive.

It seems those were prophetic words. It is, indeed, a great day to be an American and a Democrat.

20. First hopeful moment
since Nov 2...hope that democracy can even survive, hope that we WILL challenge the racism and class inequity so evident in this election...it's almost painful, that sliver of hope. I am so grateful to everyone who has made this happen, you among them, and every single person who made a phone call, sent an email, sent a fax...everyone who's done research...it's amazing.

22. the long haul
this is only the beginning if a mass movement keeps the pressure on house and senate members to demand a full hearing on what went down in ohio. do not let this fade. it took many months to go up the food chain and impeach tricky dick and indict watergate gang. the fraud in ohio was so flagrant and sloppy. conyers has his eye on the ball for the long haul. be persistent and watch as the criminals begin to fall on one another.

33. Thanks Will....it's almost unbelievable....to see this after so long and
so MANY disappointments being jerked around back and forth. Barbara Box and Tubbs-Jones and the legions of activists who swallowed their disappointment when Kerry conceded and have kept this going.

It's a Moment that will live forever for some of us when they both spoke for all of us. Finally.... someone stood up.

45. Just stopped crying- I sent your FLY blog to my newsletter list earlier
Will- you have been amazing. Switch to de-caf please- at least part of the time. We'll still need your brilliance and wisdom in the weeks and months ahead!

FYI- MSNBC is just announced the debate (switched over out of curiosity).

47. Thank YOU Will! and everyone here at DU....
The first step in reclaiming our American franchise of democracy.

The first step in informing all our fellow citizens that democracy is not a spectator sport.

The first step in the formation of a community of activists, experts of many types -- all committed to a very different form of government than what we have had in the past years.

We have BEGUN!!

We must never let up; we must be always vigilant; we must elect individuals who never forget that they work for us, in the service of our Constitution, and not for themselves or the service of a select few.

Peace.
