I've got chills, DU!

[helderheid]

I have never felt so hopeful - I think this is going to happen!!

FILIBUSTER!!!

[ClayZ]

1. Menendez ROCKS

[helderheid]

2. Yes - I am SO PROUD to be a DEMOCRAT TODAY!!

[rocktivity]

26. DING DING DING! Helderheid, you're our grand prize winner!

I am SO PROUD to be a DEMOCRAT TODAY!!

And I am so proud to be a Jersey girl!

That's why I moved here fifteen years ago and have never looked back. It's the unpretension capital of the world--it just isn't in a New Jerseyite's nature to embrace bullshit. And that's why New Jersey may turn purple, BUT IT WILL NEVER TURN RED!

4. Yes, he does. He's saying everything that needs to be

said. He's speaking to the common man, not lawyers or politicians. Well done!

[WinkyDink]

28. YES, HE DOES!!

Dang, I wish PA. had him!

[Matariki]

3. and i pledge $50 to each of my Wa State senators immediately

if they filibuster. (and no $ ever if they don't)

[drm604]

8. Be careful.

I think that's called bribery.

[maxsolomon]

15. fitty bucks means nothing to cantwell

she beat gorton out of her own dot-com pockets.

[Matariki]

21. maybe not. but i sure as hell will never vote for her again.

i'll work my ass off for a *real* progressive candidate.

[Matariki]

19. *after* the vote today, so it's not bribery

it's 'reward and punishment'.

[BR_Parkway]

23. Yeah, you'd have to form a PAC, then send me the money so I can

donate it to your PAC so you can donate it to buy your influence.

At least that's how Delay and his legal team are claiming it would be the legal way to do it.

[mcscajun]

5. Menendez ROCKS! BRAVO!!!

His maiden speech...his first vote...and he did his home state and all Democrats proud.

[HereSince1628]

6. It is gonna be close, very close.

If we get it, we need to thank them, and then we'll need tokeep encouraging them to hang together.

[rocktivity]

27. We've already got the moral victory

simply because we chose to fight back. We may not defeat them, but we've sure put a scare into them, and it's re-energized the base already. We've won the battle even if we don't win the war.

:headbang:

[helderheid]

29. That's true ... but I think we may win the war too!!

Hatch is bringing up Roe V Wade and saying this is all about that - WRONG! This proves how scared silly they are!!!

[HereSince1628]

33. We really might get the filibuster. If it can be sustained, we might

get not only a new nominee, but a reinvigorated caucus in DC.

Imagine the Democratic caucus paying attention to the base rather than its consultants!

[tatertop]

7. Heart be still!

[converted_democrat]

9. I'm really hopeful... I hope we can pull this off..n/t

[helderheid]

10. The Republicans are scared

[converted_democrat]

16. Oh how I know..

I spend alot of time on here.. Probably too much.. I have not seen the freepers out like this in a long time.. I don't think the puke leadership sounds real sure of itself either.. I have every white candle in my house lit, and I'm thinking good thoughts.. I am getting way too emotionally invested.. I've faxed, called, and written emails for the last week..

[helderheid]

17. I think I better light some candles too - our positive energy is

making a difference!

[fooj]

34. Candles! That's a great idea.

I'm a recovering Catholic...LOL!

peace.

[fooj]

11. FILIBUSTER!

Peace.

[EFerrari]

12. DU!

:grouphug:

We've already won, no matter what!

Last week, CrapNotNews was saying, "no way"; today they're say,"not close enough." LOL!

What will they say when it happens, "that didn't happen?" :silly:

Great work!

[helderheid]

14. Good question! "In an unexpected secret move"??

:)

:grouphug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. ME TOOOO, helder!!!!! I am SO excited!

This IS going to happen!

[Common Sense Party]

35. I believe! I believe! I believe!

By George, I think we've got it!

What could possibly go wrong? Woo hoo!

[FreedomAngel82]

18. Here's to keeping up!!

Just think Friday it was just John Kerry leading the fight. Once again it's John Kerry and the protestors!

[helderheid]

20. I love your picture!

DU, as Finding Nemo said, JUST KEEP SWIMMING! In our case, just keep calling, faxing, emailing and hoping!

[Nutmegger]

22. This is why I enjoy politics

I may be just an "ordinary college student" but I do care what happens to our great nation.

VETO ALITO!!!

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Yep!

:bounce: This proves you can make a difference!

[suffragette]

24. "Hope" is the thing with feathers

"Hope" is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –

I've heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of Me. ---- Emily Dickinson

I am hopeful today.

[Botany]

30. need these *?

[helderheid]

31. LMAO!!!

:yourock:

[IndyOp]

37. Yes! (nt)

:blush:

[Gregorian]

32. My whole weekend was full of hope.

Right now I'm feeling sick. It's all too much. But not in the last few years had I had the optimism I had this weekend.

Let's hope for sanity.

[helderheid]

36. hang in there!

[jfalchion]

38. where are the numbers?

eom:kick:

[applegrove]

39. They're multiplying!

[helderheid]

40. who are?

*wiping tears*

[applegrove]

41. "I've got chills - they're multiplying". From the musical Grease.

[helderheid]

42. Oh lordy. Thanks for the chuckle! God what a depressing fucking day.
