2 Year anniversary of my Beloved Paul Wellstone....RIP
I have an idea on how to pay tribute....His last transmission was at 10:18 on 10/25.........On 10/25 why don't we all get on line and DONATE $10.18! to JK's election...It's not much there are a lot of us.....it could add up to big bucks! Most of us could afford it.......any other ideas?
If you like the idea....Can we keep this Kicked?

3. I'm in. I can't imagine what he would think about the current state
of our state. It's still hard to believe he's gone.

6. I can't imagine what he would think about the current state"
I think of that often.........He would have won his Senate seat.....He was in the fight of his life when he voted AGAINST the invasion and his polls soared. That's why 10/25 had to happen......lets get this kicked..and all log on 10/25 at 10:18 central time!
We owe it to him to never forget him!

4. I remember.
I was new to DU then and really didn't have much of an idea of who Paul Wellstone was. The Wellstone supporters of DU introduced this wonderful man to me. And then, he was killed. It was such a shock!

9. It's a great idea BUT
I just started a biz and with the election I have no time.....If you want to do it go for it!.....I'm not sure if you could get the search engines to recognize it so quick.....We have hundreds here on DU most can find $10.18!

10. yeah, but think of the millions
that would see a webpage.

I understand the time constraints. I bet if anyone would just get a startup on this idea, Wellstone supporters statewide and nationally would chime in and contribute.


it's a great idea serryjw.

12. Dear Serryjw and to all like minded other DU'ers',
There is sure to be something we can do. I like the $5 times x, just think of the ramifications? We've done it before, we can do it again. Late night du'ers, please keep this kicked up and come up with some creative thoughts on how we can make this happen.

Seems to me it could be a powerful statement.

14. He died on my birthday.
I was listening to Rush in the car while I was eating a double from In-n-Out. Rush said "oh, heeeres some interesting news, It appears that Paul Wellstones plane has gone down.... very interesting". It sounded so serpent-like. I had a sad birthday

I'll donate the $10.18

15. I'm with you.
Paul Wellstone was a great Senator and an even greater man.

I will donate to JFK to pay tribute to Senator Wellstone. :(
