HELEN ROSES UPDATE - THEY WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY MORNING!

I just got word the roses will arrive in the morning! I'll know exactly when as soon as I have a fed ex tracking number.

Any chance you can make it to her office? If so, please PM me!

1. Where is her office


I sure would love to see her expression!

Have you notified her Office Team that roses are on the way?

5. Yes, I've notified them and have a small team of volunteers forming to
help with the cleaning and arranging of the flowers - are you near DC?

3. Man I wish we could see her when $2000 worth of roses start
pouring in!

I also wish we had some way to help her get them to the VA hospital after the initial shock wears off!

Awesome job helderheid. This makes my day.

21. Hope there will be a doc nearby, I love Helen and hope this isn't
to overwhelming. Who am I kidding, she takes on the biggest asshat in the country and smiles about it afterward. She is tough as nails. Gotta love Helen.

12. I've joined DU after reading about this at DailyKos
I'm in the area and available all day tomorrow, but I realize that I have no history here. (not even PM privileges!) I do have bonadifes at Kos: http://kudos.dailykos.com/ yet, I won't be offended if you'd rather deal with trusted folks. I can be reached at the email address the account was registered with.

25. Sorry
that link was to my diaries at Kos in case you were worried I might be a mole for RedSatet or Powerline.

Here was the comment that mentioned what you guys were doing: http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2006/3/29/213252/100/70#c70

26. Sadly I can't go...
We're having issues at work and unfortunately some of my code is involved.

Where is the final press release text?

29. Thank you again, helderheid, everyone who participated
& those who would have if they could. Thanks to those who can help on site.

A very nice & happy thing to be involved in...I wish I could be there.

I would love to see this show up on TV somewhere today or tomorrow.

I know there's a lot more important stuff going on and a great day with Jill Carroll being released.



I would still like to see Helen get a little attention.
