Thank you, EarlG. Your excellent work is much appreciated.
Thank you, all, on DU. It is both beacon and ballast for me.
From the Court Formerly Known as Supreme's rottenly placing W Bush in office to our living hell today, I have been informed, cheered, inspired, and heartened by all of you. Thank you.
I believe we can, together, renew our democracy and make it strong and lively, ready to face climate change and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, with equality and justice for all.
Thank you.
