We sent Helen roses. What could we do for Russ Feingold/

[Puglover]

More roses? Any ideas? I wonder if a visual like the roses would have an impact of some of our Dem Senators that are on the fence?

[riona]

1. in political land

money talks. how about one nice check from du to his campaign fund. i don't really know all the campaign donation rules - anybody know???

[Clyde_dubyaD40]

7. How about bouquets of miniature American flags

[Occulus]

54. I don't think we can do that

I think that might be actually specifically against campaign finance law. I'm not sure, but I do recall something about that the lawst time around.

I left the typo in because it's cute and furry.

Seriously.

[Atman]

63. How about voodoo dolls of the rest of the Dem "leadership?"

Naw. It'd be a waste of good voodoo.

[cascadiance]

122. I was thinking the same thing...

There's one site I found that were mad in China (probably should avoid those, even though they are cheap).

Here's another site for flags:

If we can give him American flags perhaps the following:
http://www.anthemflag.com/itemdetail122.htm (a whole range of miniature flags)

Alternatively, if we can give him this, how about Democrat flags:
http://www.anthemflag.com/itemdetail1302.htm (a dozen 4"x6" for $46.23)

Perhaps, like Barbara Boxer and Helen Thomas did, this would be mostly for him to stand next to initially with the huge array of flags he'd stand next to for pictures and maybe just one big flag for him to stay within campaign finance limits. Maybe afterwards we could have them forwarded onto the families of soldiers who died there. Maybe give him a list of these soldiers' names (and addresses if we can get them) that we'd send them to or another organization that can send them to them for us with postage and packaging already provided. If we could get one flag for each family that has lost a soldier out there, that would be AWESOME! Perhaps have mailers with postage and addresses already printed on them that could be sent from Feingold's office (courtesy of us!)

Current count of American soldiers dead in Iraq (2332)

For a flag for each soldier buying the $6.48/dozen pack that would be 195 (perhaps 200 by the time we send them to him). If we got 200 dozen packs that would be for (2600 soldiers - he could give more over time as more are added in the coming weeks)

$1702.00 - flags -- (200 * $6.48) + shipping ($406)
$1300.00 - mailers - (2600 * .50)
$500.00 - address labels
$1352.00 - shipping - (2600 * ($.39 + .13)) (13 cents non-machineable surcharge assuming one ounce or less)
----------------------
Roughly $4854.00

This is a rough estimate (and I've certainly no looked for cheapest stuff. But the question is if DU could raise $5000.00 to put these together. Perhaps we need to add in some sort of thing to stand these flags in when they're around Russ for the picture.

Then afterward, we need some group of folks to help address the flags and send them c/o Progressive Patriots to the various soldiers, which might imply that we know their addresses. If there's an agency that could send them for us that does have these addresses, then perhaps get all of these mailers put together so all they would have to do is print out the address on labels and stick them onto the packages.

Perhaps add the photo to each flag we mail out to let the soldiers and their families know who cares about average Americans like Russ does!

Of course then one of these would be going to Cindy Sheehan!

I'll probably send Russ more cash (already sent him $20.08 earlier) too. But just giving him cash doesn't provide the publicity that standing for a photo in front of a lot of donated flowers (or flags!) will do for him. I think more than anything else now, he needs that publicity of showing that Americans are behind him! That will be his weapon to club these other do nothing Democrats into submission with!

[stephinrome]

2. Let's do something!

I think this is a great idea. I've called his office to express support (though I'm not a constituent) but something that would get a little press would be excellent.

I don't have any ideas (yet) but am game. I didn't get in on the flowers for Helen, so I need to make up for that.

[terip64]

3. I think cash is best, maybe a certain amount to represent our support.

[Radio_Guy]

61. That will work

If we give an amount above campaign finance laws, we could give it in cash. No paper trail that way.

[wordpix2]

94. $17.76 to Prog. Patriots Fund and send a message---"thanks from a DUer" to

[e-mail]


Here's what I got after sending in my $17.76:

Dear Wordpix,
Thank you for your recent contribution of $17.76 to the Progressive Patriots Fund. Your support will enable me to be a part of a larger national effort to build the Democratic Party throughout America.

The challenges far too many Americans face every day did not go away with the past election. I will continue to give voice to those who believe we must work to provide health care for all Americans, protect and create jobs, ensure fiscal responsibility, and fight terrorism while also protecting our freedoms.

In both so-called red and blue states, people have a voice that needs to be heard. People in every state want a dialogue that moves beyond the electoral partisan politics and ideology that divide us.

That is why I intend to help begin a dialogue about how we move forward as a country united by the values we share and the challenges we face together.

Once again, I sincerely appreciate your support, and look forward to working with you and others as we rise to meet the challenges that lie ahead. I know that with your help we will succeed.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold
United States Senator

[Pachamama]

103. That's exactly what we should do! It's about the same amount of $$

for a dozen roses (give or take) and the message is loud and clear - and he can actually use the money to keep on fighting the fascists and speaking out!

:kick:

[madmunchie]

117. A SINGLE DELIVER OF A LARGE PACKAGE OF CHECKS ALL IN

THE AMOUNT OF $17.76, would be the best idea!

[undeterred]

118. Simpler

Everyone donate $17.76 to the fund online, and let me know so I can make a list of contributors. Will present to him at a public meeting (press notified) in the next week or two, perhaps along with flowers or some other symbol of appreciation.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x822031

[radfringe]

4. sunflowers

as in letting the sun in, more transparentcy, sunshine policy...

missed the Helen Thomas rose brigrade notices.. (slapping my head)
so if we do one for Russ - let me know

[Trevelyan]

58. Hey, sunflowers are a great symbol and would counter giving flowers to a

guy. That should get some press and make nice photos.

Feingold for Prez does have ways you can help with the Swiftboating now in progress as the Repigs have bought airtime all across Wisconsin to lie that Feingold does not want to allow the heroic bush who is protecting us from the terrorists and against benedict arnolds like Feingold who dare to criticize the king during wartime --- really they are doing this now and the Russ website below asks that we write the media correcting the lie that Feingold does not want to allow any wiretaps of terrorists.

[KAT119]

64. Sunflowers=Very Masculine!! The Sun Symbol= Perfect!! Let's do it!!! K/R!

[Joanne98]

93. That's a great idea!

[kiteinthewind]

5. Let's help him run for President in 2008!!!

:patriot:

[HereSince1628]

6. I sent him White roses 2 weeks ago, I suggest sending white feathers

(emblems of cowardice) to the Dems who didn't show up for the censure hearing. They can redeem them only with an act of courage.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

8. How much does a billboard cost - ideally somewhere close to the

Capital so that each and every Congress person has to look at it when they arrive to work. Just a simple little reminder that we are not going to forget, we are not shutting up and sitting down and we will be a major force and they can either be with us or against us. My main message would be to the Dems but would have the advantage of putting each and every politician on notice. A simple "Thank You Russ Feingold" brought to you by the people who care about America.

Remember the billboards that went up to "thank" the Hollywood liberals for putting Chucklenuts in office? I want the message to get to the DLC, the DNC, DCCC that we are no longer grassroots - we are the mainstream of the Democratic party and they need to get their asses on board with us.

[HereSince1628]

55. I dunno, it's been 30 years since I lived near DC, are there billboards

but I think that would be a great idea.

[AndyA]

9. Money!

We could all make a joint contribution. That would be a lot of cash fast.

No flowers or anything else for Russ. He needs the cash to do what he already knows needs to be done. That will do more than anything else we could do - except to support him by encouraging the other Dems to get the lead out and start doing the right thing.

[fed-up]

10. How about care package for those in NOLA or others affected by Katrina nt

[usregimechange]

11. Lets do it, how do we get started?

[kiteinthewind]

12. A donation to Progressive Patriots Fund in the name of DU?

:shrug:

[kiteinthewind]

14. Sorry, DUers! n/t

[helderheid]

17. this could work well - as you see in my post below, DailyKos wants to send

sunflowers - wouldn't be bad if we worked with them and they sent the flowers and we send some cash at the same time.

[kiteinthewind]

18. That sounds great!

:toast:

[helderheid]

13. there's a movement on DailyKos to send sunflowers - I emailed them

about Organic Bouquet but didn't get a reply. I fear my email ended up in their spam folder.

[kiteinthewind]

15. BTW, helderheid, thanks for all your hard work for Helen's Roses!!

You're awesome!

:hug:

[helderheid]

19. aw shucks!

:blush: Thanks! I need to take some time and go through my inbox - I got kinda overwhelmed this past week! :)

[kiteinthewind]

22. I bet! You worked your butt off!!

:loveya:

[Canuckistanian]

21. They should know you at DKOS

They covered the Helen story pretty well. Why do you think you were ignored?

[helderheid]

25. I had a new user account and couldn't figure out how to comment - I

emailed directly and figure my email got dumped in the spam filter and they never saw it.

[Hissyspit]

114. Sign up and post directly to DKos.

Or I could do it for you. Let me know.

[wordpix2]

65. what's the idea of sunflowers? Is that symbolic of something I've missed?

[stray cat]

84. A ray of sun in the midst of government corruption and ineffectiveness.

[Vinca]

16. Money is great, but it won't be a picture distributed all over

Capital Hill and the country. Can't we do both?? I like the sunflower idea.

[Vinca]

20. Oops - just read about the Daily Kos sunflower idea.

How about red, white & blue flowers plus flags?

[kiteinthewind]

23. Good!!! n/t

[wordpix2]

70. if we got enough money together, someone could print up a big check

that would be graphic for a photo op

[helderheid]

24. Sunflowers thread on DailyKos - how does one comment there?

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/4/1/141246/3450

[kiteinthewind]

27. I am more of a lurker over there. I find it difficult to follow their

threads. I think someone who posts there frequently might be more helpful?
:shrug:

[kiteinthewind]

32. Just read your post over there! Maybe DU could do the PPF donation

collection, and arrange it to be delivered at the same time as the Sunflowers? Just a thought. What can I do to help?
:woohoo:

[helderheid]

35. I really like that - would be fun to do a joint drive!

[stray cat]

26. Dontate to the progressive patriots fund, Money talks

http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/

[kiteinthewind]

28. I think we were talking about doing BOTH!

:hi:

[stray cat]

30. I do like the symbolism of the sunflowers!

[wordpix2]

66. what IS the symbolism? I missed it.

[kiteinthewind]

77. Sunshine on the lies of Busco!

:hi:

[AngryAmish]

29. I like tacos

Could we send him tacos?

[stray cat]

31. Me to, but not sure about how they would photograph

[AngryAmish]

34. good point

But I still like tacos.

[kiteinthewind]

38. How would we keep them hot?

:)

[AngryAmish]

41. I was figuring a local restaurant could deliver

[kiteinthewind]

43. : )

:)

[helderheid]

36. mmmmmmmmmm tacos.

[file83]

119. lol - Mr. Feingold, here are your 10,000 tacos.

[riona]

33. may i make a suggestion?

wouldn't it be worthwhile for someone to call feingold's press secretary and ask for a couple of ideas?

[VelmaD]

37. Why not send him roses too

Why would they be appropriate for Helan and not for him?

[helderheid]

39. I have no problem with that - it's just Daily Kos is already working on a

sunflower campaign. I just figured we'd have a bigger impact if we worked together.

[kiteinthewind]

42. I agree! Again, it would be great to have a DUers donation delivered

at the same time as the sunflowers. If we set up Paypal, could each donator have a personal note?
:shrug:

[Hissyspit]

115. You need to make a post directly to DKos, helderheid.

I am a member and can do it. I think there may be a week delay in how soon you can post your own diary. Let me know.

[kiteinthewind]

40. IMHO, I think Sunflowers fit him better, and the donation to PPF, that's

putting a real boost to what he is trying to do!
:hi:

[w8liftinglady]

44. the donation is a good idea.

I think it's critical for us to really show Russ our support.I have already donated once to PPF,but would gladly again...especially if it would get this message out there-we will only support democrats with BALLS(metaphorically speaking)

[VelmaD]

45. I have no issue with sending him sunflowers...

I was mostly trying to make people think a little bit about whether they were making an assumption that roses were not appropriate to send a man.

[w8liftinglady]

47. no-it's cool...a nice thought

[kiteinthewind]

50. Point well taken!!

:hi:

[kiteinthewind]

52. Why is this post 'flamed'? I guess I don't get it

Sorry, I meant to post this to the OP

:shrug: :blush:

[Sydnie]

59. If you are referring to the listing on the main forum page

it has flames because it is a "hot" topic (meaning responses number over 50) not because it's a flaming post.

If that is not what you were referring to ... ignore this response.

Welcome to DU btw. :hi:

[kiteinthewind]

78. Thanks, Sydnie!! I thought it was a 'bad' thing!

And BTW, it is GREAT to be here among the sane!!
:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

67. Oh you mean the flame signal?

Duh!! Now I get it.

It means it's a hot topic.

[kiteinthewind]

80. Thanks, to you too, Proud! I am having trouble keeping up with my posts!

:blush:

[proud2BlibKansan]

87. We need to hang together at your house or mine one day and post together

That would be a hoot.

[kiteinthewind]

89. Game!

:loveya:

[Radical Activist]

73. Conservatives will call him a sissy

I don't care, but I don't see any reason to play into their games and stereotypes about liberals.

[blue4barb]

46. K & R Love the idea to get something going for Russ.

[otohara]

48. Chocolate Baskets

yummy rich dark chocolate.

[C_U_L8R]

49. I also want to send flowers to Jennifer John

The woman who boldly stood up and sang
Imagine and Give Peace A Chance to CondiSleezy.

Oh and General Zinni too ..(though flowers may not be appropriate)

And YES Russ Feingold is THE MAN !!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

51. Amercam Flags and

soem money for his campaign

[kiteinthewind]

53. Yes, let's take back the flag. I always want to puke when I see those

hypocritical repukes with their little flag lapel pins. :mad:

[fooj]

113. Me, too.

It's so "post" 9-11...:eyes:

[Trevelyan]

56. Great idea... In the meantime, download the audio of Feingold's Censure

Hearings from his Senate website and join Russ for Prez and post on his forums. We really do need to show support and while I think he would love bouquets of flowers or flags and the front page of DU like Helen has-- I think they lack of any comment from him on the betrayal of the Dems in not showing up for his historic hearing shows he must be depressed so right now send him and email, download from his site or look up some of the excellent material on his Senate site about his policy views and loads of comments about the articles on Russ for Prez would also cheer him up nicely.

I went to Harkin's website and he had already taken down his article in favor of Censure. I think BFEE was very busy blackmailing, threatening and bribing or some combination of all three to every single Democratic senator and every single Democratic Senator voted yes to the "Patriot" Act two weeks ago without Feingold's amendment that would have preserved some of our rights.

What caused the dems to flip flop on that one from their brave stand in December? Feingold won't back down to the BFEE threats and for that we should show support now in every way we can.

[kiteinthewind]

57. Is Harkin backing off, too??

And I thought he had grown a spine.
:grr:

[Trevelyan]

60. I went to Harkin's website a few days ago and he proudly displayed

his excellent article for Censure, smack dab on the front page of his official Senate site. Went back today, and no sign of it or even how to find it if it had been archived. No comment on Harkin's website on the Dems on the Judiciary committee who did not show up for the Censure Hearing. It is like Russia or 1984 with news that is disapproved of by the Politburo being airbrushed out like those in disfavor being airbrushed out of the photos with stalin. Creepy, crawly.

Russ is THE MAN

FOR ALL SEASONS

[undeterred]

62. How about a santa sack full of checks and letters to Russ

I live in Madison (where he lives and has an office), so count me in on helping to deliver whatever is decided if it will be done here.

I like the idea of sending roses being a Democratic Underground tradition. Flowers make a great photo op and show of support.

Honestly - the more I've thought about this, the more I think the right thing to do is to support the progressive patriots fund. We could do this as individuals who are part of Democratic Underground rather than as a pooled contribution to keep it less complicated.

So how about a nice bouquet of roses or sunflowers or whatever AND a santa sack full of checks and letters to Russ telling him how much we appreciate him?

:patriot:

[wordpix2]

68. is Feingold running this year or '08?

[undeterred]

69. He was re-relected to the Senate in 2004

So the next thing he would be running for is President in 2008.

[wordpix2]

71. thanks

[Pryderi]

72. I agree with sending the $$ to progessivepatriots.com

as suggested earlier.

[Orangepeel]

74. people could donate $17.76

:shrug:

[wordpix2]

83. Love it! Send in $17.76 to Progressive Patriots Fund!

[pamela]

75. How about a money tree...

or a check tree. Get a large ficus and attach donation checks to it. We could have it delivered with the Dkos sunflowers. You'd have the visual impact of the flowers combined with the powerful message to other Senators that our donations are going to the people that stand up for us.

edited to add: instead of calling it a money or check tree we could call it a Censure Bush and get a ficus that has a more shrub-like look to it.

[Beelzebud]

76. Elect people that will stand with him and fight!

[ldf]

79. just my .02, but

with helen, flowers were so appropriate.

she is not a politican, not running for anything, but still standing up for truth, and the american people. flowers expressed our love and appreciation for her courage and patriotism.

for feingold, he IS a politician, he IS running for something (either to stay in the senate, OR hopefully for president), AND he IS standing for truth, and the american people, but can only do it if he is still in office.

helen made the gracious gesture of donating her flowers to veteran hospitals.

would that work with sunflowers? it just doesn't seem like an efficient use of the reward.

but a donation, of the exact same amount (or ending with the exact same cents - 25.77, 50.77, etc), all done in a matter of a couple of days, with all who can, getting that info out to the media, it COULD work. and with the realization that it is NOT a one-time offer, it could have the "two by four between the eyes" affect, with $$ signs circling their heads, instead of stars....

the politicans, who are ALL money hungry, WOULD get wind of it.

maybe dailykos could do the sunflower thing, and du could do the money thing.... i'm happy that dailykos is also trying to show support for those who deserve it. the combo two-fer could really work.

we little grassroots people have got to get the attention of the politicians. money ALWAYS gets people's attention.

again, just my .02.

[undeterred]

82. I'm not big on sunflowers either

and if I were a hospital patient or someone who they'd be donated to, I'd rather have roses.

I think roses or an orchid and checks and letters are best.

[kiteinthewind]

85. KOS is doing the sunflower thing, and we were thinking it would be nice

to have $$$ delivered at the same time as the flowers!! kinda to show collaboration? I like the above idea about the ficus money tree, but that would entail collecting individual checks or cash donations, and I am not sure about the logistics of that. Maybe, the ficus with one donation check collected thru Paypal?? I don't know? Suggestions? :shrug:

[ldf]

96. i think to prevent all APPEARANCE of impropriety

No cash can be involved.

i love everyone here, but collecting cash is not the way to go.

:shrug:

[kiteinthewind]

97. Yep! I think one check, gathered thru donations, delivered at the same

time as the KOS Sunflowers with show our collaboration at the netroots level! What do you think of the ficus tree?
:hi:

[ldf]

108. if it is checks on the ficus tree

that seems doable. but i am certainly not the one that is going to make any kind of decision. just thinking out loud....

it's just that credit card/paypal donations, with recognizable amounts, would be easier for all involved.

but the ficus tree with checks would be very symbolic, especially if it is actually covered to bursting with checks. maybe several trees?

but, (brain fart), could it not be said that they were fake checks, just for show? and you know that's what they would say, in spite of all backup lists, copies, etc.

i'd still play. it's just the realization that everytime cash is involved, regardless of the good intent/cause, SOMETHING happens to tarnish the whole thing.

some people just can NOT pass by an easy opportunity...

know what i'm sayin?.....

[kiteinthewind]

111. yeah, I know. Helderheid did such a great job on Helen's roses, though,

and I didn't hear any negatives. If there was a way to get someone to just collect the checks, MADE OUT to PPF, then we could get them all pinned on the 'Censure bush' and delivered at the same time as KOS sunflowers. Pamela, in MD, said she would be willing to go to DC to deliver it.
:shrug:

[kiteinthewind]

99. I think Pamela suggested that, like a "Censure bush"!!

:toast:

[Seedersandleechers]

81. We could do this Monthly, weekly, or bi-monthly for someone who

stands out on issues. It would be great if this were a regular donation to be issued accordingly.

[kiteinthewind]

86. Hey, KC!!!

I live in Independence!! It is good to see other KCers! Do you ever go down to the Plaza on Sundays for the war protest?
:hi:

[Seedersandleechers]

98. I work Saturday and Sunday

However, I'm off monday-friday..

[kiteinthewind]

102. Would love to have you join us at Greater KC DFA!!

Our next meetup is Wed, 7pm at Californo's in Westport!! We also do Drinking Liberally starting at 5:30 at Californo's. There are quite a few DUers that are members!!!
:beer:

[kiteinthewind]

88. Hey, folks, can we kick this up to get more feedback!

:thumbsup:

[Seabiscuit]

90. How about a paid weekend on Gary Hart's old boat?

Just kidding.

[wordpix2]

91. just sent in my $17.76 to Prgressive Patriots Fund---KICK!

contribute: http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com

Let Russ know you're a DU patriot: [e-mail]

[undeterred]

92. Vote in my poll and read my comment please!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x821598

[radfringe]

95. crazy suggestion

ok - seems we want to send flowers, donations, tacos to a bunch of different people and causes...

at one place I worked, we would throw in $1.00 a week for what we called a sunshine fund. This was just amongst the employees. when it was a birthday, wedding, funeral, anniversary or other special occassion we would use $x and buy that person flowers, dinner or whatever

here's my suggestion - we form a Sunshine Fund. Get maybe 5 people together to be a "review" committee

we ask people to submit names/causes and why this person or cause should get some money or flowers or whatever.

---Who/What cause
---why they should get it
---send flowers/money/tacos or other

every "x" days the review committee goes through the nominations, selects say 5 names/causes - posts them, then we vote on which one gets something from the sunshine fund. Then we post the results and have a week or two of asking for donation.

[Seedersandleechers]

100. I could go for that!!!

[radfringe]

110. I wouldn't go

for things like donating to a political campaign - that would put us in the category of a PAC or 527 or something similar and would require waaaaaaaaaaaayy more work than I think people are willing and able to do

We could set up some guidelines as to who/what would be awarded with what

for example - alot of us are mad as heck at the apologists in the Dem party. We could set a guideline that recognizes only those who show some backbone and spine without later apologizing

another example - recognition for journalists who ask tough questions during a press conference and follow it up in their articles

or for a whistle-blower or ordinary person who takes a stand

something along those lines? I'm just throwing things out there to give people something to think about

[kster]

101. Look for free

online postcards that we could print and/or like I do keep a small stack of Patriotic postcards next to your PC, then everytime someone does something Good and/or honest hit him/her with a postcard campaign. Its cheap, easy and more people who may not be able to afford to kick in $$ for flowers, would be able to get involved.


My two cents.

[undeterred]

104. Lets keep it simple - $17.76 to Russ and let me know

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x822031

WI Duers will present to Russ in public at a listening session sometime April 8-11.

[kiteinthewind]

106. Could we give it a little more time? That's only 6 days to collect!!

Kos is planning to deliver their Sunflowers on the 24th. It would be great if we could make it a joint thing--more publicity! I think DC would get more publicity than a local office.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=821598&mesg_id=822078

:shrug:

[undeterred]

109. The listening sessions are public meetings with a few hundred people

and press can be notified in advance (but they will probably be there anyway).

I think "thank you" gestures are best delivered quickly - if we are thanking him for the censure resolution it isn't a bad idea to do it by next weekend.

I am open to suggestions, although I've already volunteered to do this. I can do something in WI, not in Washington. If people want Washington, there is nothing for me to undo, but I can't go to Washington so someone else will have to step up.

I know from experience that these discussions can go on forever and ever without a consensus...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

105. nothing wrong with roses for a guy, either.

[undeterred]

107. to me roses can mean a lavish thank you to anyone
