I'm a 19-year old college student from Houston, Texas. I was a big-time fan of Senator Kerry during the '04 campaign. However, my affection for the man has only grown since the election. The Alito filibuster, Iraq deadline, and his brilliant speech at Faneuil Hall all have re-energized me and I'm looking forward to seeing what else he does. I'm also looking forward to discussing the Senator with all of you.
Just thought I would let you know who I was before I start posting regularly.

Welcome. Pull up a chair, have a cold drink and start on in.
:patriot:
We have been around as a group since shortly after the '04 race. Feel free to ask any quesitons or jump in on any subject.
Again, welcome! If I may, how did you come to hear about us in our little corner of DU?

I'm a college student too. Been a fan of JK since summer of 2004, and I've only loved him more and more since. You'll fit right in here!

| 8. Boston has two kinds of summers |
|
Sort of cold and unbearable. (Wicked, wicked hot and humid.)
Dress accordingly. (Plus all those office towers are over-air conditioned.)
Good luck with all the finals.

:hi: I'm in Houston, too, though hardly a 19-yr. old college student, sadly. Good to see you and I'm glad you found this group. If you ever have a question about Senator Kerry, there are some absolute brainiacs here who will help you!

This group is great because we can talk about all things Kerry and even have civilized conversations about politics in general or policy. I look forward to chatting with you in the future!

| 11. Congrats,Texas newbie! |

However considering your home 'base'...could you kindly, daily do ALL you can bringing others to the JK 'light!'
That IS your "assignment"...should you choose to accept...
Good to have you in the 'fold.' (Here's trusting your car still 'sports' that '04 Kerry/Edward bumper sticker?) Or a tattered lawn sign at least?
Welcome! NGU!

I took the Kerry/Edwards sticker off my car.
But I replaced it with a Kerry '08 sticker :).

I, too, am a 19-year-old college student, so you'll fit right in! Like you, I got to be a fan of Sen. Kerry's during the '04 campaign, and I find that I've grown to like him even more since! (also, I recently changed my posting name, which is why it says I only have like 5 posts. I've been around here for longer than that!)Okay, now I need to get back to studying for finals . . . :crazy:

Hey, I'm a 19 year old college student, too! OK, I USED to be a 19 year old college student. Of course, dinosaurs used to walk the earth.
Sheesh, you can't get away with anything around this place. :P
