TO ALL MY NEW FRIENDS AT DU

I want to thank you for helping me get through the very stressful election time. I found the conversations to be informative and I can't tell you how many times I LMAO at a lot of the posts. This was a real stress reliever for me. So very glad I found y'all!

We get another chance to clean up the rest of the Congress in two years, guess we still have to keep doing our homework.

It helped you get through that event.


Now your hooked.


I haven't read a newspaper in months, but the last time I did it was about stories I had read here 3 days before.

It is indeed a great site.

Welcome from another newbie.

Are you familiar with Democracy Now; The War and Peace Report ?

It is a great source of accurate and in depth news.

It is available on Link TV on satellite and cable, and it is also available at http://www.democracynow.org/

I needed the release point too. Thanks all!

I have been lurking for some time but started posting when this latest was scandal that stinks to high heaven, because I'm certain that we are getting the dime-store novel version of the issue. It is a behind the scenes component of the election we just won and I had to hash it out with others. I think I've got it now and I might take the time to create a post about my conclusions later, just a few more speculations to follow up on and then....

Welcome to throng.

I no longer even watch the news... go to Latest Breaking News here instead since avoiding the lamestream news does wonders for your stress level, too

DU provides a link to (almost) everything that matters. After I read my email, I come here. Whatever I'm missing, I don't miss it.

Love finding a bunch of new friends who can't stand liars and cheats. Also, very little arguing, unlike trying to have a conversation with a rethug.

I'm new too, but just to posting. I've been reading DU for a long long long time. I have to watch myself., though. I now know what addiction is. I've got it bad for DU. This is such a crucial turning point for our country and DU truly is the best place to participate, learn and just keep up with what's happening. Bonkers is what I am... I'm on here, TV is muted but on at my side and I listen to online Progressive radio shows while I'm surfing DU. (Listening to Ed right now.) And laughter truly is the best medicine...you definitely get a healthy dose of it here.


Proceed!
