2. I'm right between Norfolk and Suffolk |
|
Like, literally, the two places merge right on the damn hill my college is on...so...um, I think technically because I'm in Newton, I'm in Norfolk county, right?

7. I'm down near the rhode island border. I have been lurking on Du |
|
since the election and signed on a month or two ago, prior to that I was working for John Edwards making phone calls and writing letters. And then when kerry got the go ahead, well of course I supported him.
I posted a lot over at the edwards blog then tried to go over to the kerry blog but didn't like the format, so hardly ever posted.
I stayed with a few close bloggers over at jregrassroots.org, then found du and have been here since and it feels like home.
It's nice to meet you!

9. I think I've got you beat as far as lurking...three and one-half YEARS! |
|
I've know about this site pretty much since the beginning (Jan. 2000) I first heard about it through Bartcop.com.
Finally registered during the height of the Kerry campaign.
Either way, welcome aboard...:hi:

Worcester County, as well - Whitinsville, here.
On a side note, does anyone attend the Worcester or Sturbridge DFA meet ups? I've been kind of in the groups but I've never attended one but I've been looking to one of these days!

11. Register at the Congressional District thread |

There is another thread in the MASSACHUSETTS forum where DU'ers can register by Congressional District. The purpose is to form a network of activists willing to facilitate communications ACROSS districts. Please visit http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=158x3244 and reply under your Representative's name. :grouphug:

Right near the Rhode Island line. Why is it the Rhode Island "line" but the New Hampshire "border"?

2000 Census data:
MASSACHUSETTS 6,349,097 Barnstable County 222,230 Berkshire County 134,953 Bristol County 534,678 Dukes County 14,987 Essex County 723,419 Franklin County 71,535 Hampden County 456,228 Hampshire County 152,251 Middlesex County 1,465,396 Nantucket County 9,520 Norfolk County 650,308 Plymouth County 472,822 Suffolk County 689,807 Worcester County 750,963
Anyone from the island counties? They're pretty tiny. My county (Franklin) is pretty damn small, too. It's true, nobody else lives here!
