A decent freeper among us
I am not the freeper, I am just reposting from the long thread about contributing to Andy Stephenson (so far, more than $16,000, but still short of the needed $25,000). And that thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3561640 has now more than 900 posts with a lot of graphics that makes this impossible for DUers with dial up connections.

Please so not "alert" I think this shows the humanity that still exists - if we ever are going to build bridges with the other half of the country. Thanks.


I will snail mail $15



I tried numerous times tonight to give it right now via Amazon. I am a FReeper and a Bush supporter and I realize I will be tombstoned for saying so, but I hope this post doesn't get deleted. I disagree with Andy's politics but I have followed his health issues and I wish him a successful surgery and a swift recovery.

Whoever receives his mail will know it's me because I'll mention my screenname when I send it out tomorrow. It will be postmarked from San Antonio, Texas.

I hope one day we can all get along, and I wish nothing but the best for Andy. My father died of cancer, so it is in good faith that I pass along a few bucks to help a fellow human battling this disease.

Stay well, Andy, and best wishes to you. Also, good work sfexpat2000 for spearheading this effort for a friend. That is admirable, and you are to be commended.

3. Without a doubt the most unique coming out I've ever seen and far
and away the most compassionate...

You have softened my heart a bit, I hope the other side will soften theirs as well.

7. We have more in common than the "leadership" would have us
believe.

The divide is not ours, it is their's.

It looks like both sides might be recognizing this. Thank you lemonlime. :hug:
