I'm having lunch with Howard Dean tomorrow

[proud2BlibKansan]

Just thought I'd mention that.

[Whisp]

1. blow him a kiss for me. I love the Dean. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Will do

:loveya:

[rurallib]

2. OK I am jealous. See if he is ready to head the party again, please.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. I will ask

:loveya:

[Catshrink]

3. Oh wow!

Congratulations! Wonder what you'll ask him about if you get the chance?????

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. I don't know! LOL

I guess I need to do my homework :hide:

[Whisp]

15. ask him what he thinks about the media and how slanted they are toward the Teagaggers.

or something better worded. but a media question in some respect would be great.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. I'll bet he mentions that

He talks about the media.

[Whisp]

33. so, if he starts in on the media ask him why democrats

seem to just lay low and not contest the lies out there as much as should be done. I know they are not welcome to speak as the pugs are, but why aren't there more Graysons, for example? more Kucinichs, to take away some of that thunder the repugs have.

I would love to see some of that passion in democrats that the lieing repugs seem to have.

[EFerrari]

18. Ask him when he's going to start a think tank so we can go work for him

lol

Have a great time! :hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Wanna move to Vermont?

We could work for DFA.

[Catshrink]

Need a hint?

Ask him to support teachers. It would be so refreshing to hear a politician support us rather than demonize us.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. I AM going to ask him that

madfloridian suggested that question. Definitely going for it. :)

[Catshrink]

31. Cool.

I would expect no less.

:yourock:

[laughingliberal]

36. +1 nt

[That Is Quite Enough]

4. Rub it in, yeah? :P

Kidding, kidding. Sounds like a good time.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Oh you betcha!

:rofl:

[madfloridian]

6. Isn't he leading the DFA training session there this week-end?

I heard about that.

I hear they have been having good crowds at the trainings recently.

Have a great lunch. Jealous.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. He is speaking at lunch at the training

It's the biggest DFA training yet. We broke their record. Once we found out Howard was coming for lunch, we blasted it and got a great response.

Our two area congressmen are coming. Moore from KS and Cleaver from MO. Both good Democrats. Moore is retiring and his wife is running for his seat. She will be there tomorrow as well.

Should be a fun weekend. I'll give your best to Howard. :patriot:

[handmade34]

9. say hi for me...

way back when he was govn'r in Vermont, he was helping at the Kiwanis auction in St. Johnsbury... I bid way high on a drill because he said he would throw in his tie to the highest bidder... all in good fun. I had myself a slick red and white tie and a way overpriced power drill

Good Times...

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. I wonder if he would remember that

:)

[madfloridian]

11. Ask him to stand with teachers against the privatization of schools.

He once spoke out strongly against NCLB, powerfully.

Now he says nothing at all.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. That's a GREAT question

I will ask him. I'll tell him teachers and kids need his voice. :patriot:

[blue neen]

12. Oh, you are lucky.

Have a great time! :)

[chollybocker]

13. Order the maple-glazed pork.

He'll love that. ;)

(Way jealous!)

[hlthe2b]

14. Met him at DNC... he was very gracious...

and thoughtful to those of us who were volunteering and supporting the efforts behind the scenes.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. I met him at Netroots in August

He's very warm. Just loved him.

[Egnever]

17. Tell him I said Hi :)

Every once in a while I have fond memories of meeting his camper that was donated for his people powered express. What a wreck it was :)but the staffers driving it were all heart just like Howard. I tried harder to get him elected than any other pol in my life, his actions since he lost have only further convinced me I picked the right guy back then.

Enjoy your lunch I know you will.

[Va Lefty]

19. Please tell him Millions still believe in him!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. You got it!

[gateley]

20. Tell him we love him and we appreciate all he does for us. Have fun!!! nt

[laughingliberal]

22. I'm so jealous. Does he know about DU?

Tell him we love him! Ok, most of us love him. Lol!

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Seems like he would know about DU

[gateley]

24. Ask him if he thinks Grayson's Medicare Buy In has a chance in hell, or words

to that effect. I'd really like to know if that's something we can look forward to soon!

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. That's a very good question

I'd like to know that as well.

[chill_wind]

51. Ditto that. n/t

[jtrockville]

28. Lucky YOU! He's sooo inspirational.

[grahamhgreen]

34. Ask him how we are 'fixing' the crapsurance bailout bill please.

[csziggy]

35. Shake his hand for me

And tell him I miss him as head of DLC. Also, I enjoy seeing him as a guest on MSNBC. He should do those appearances as often as they will have him! :fistbump:

[newspeak]

53. ummm, no not DLC but DNC

Ask him if he ever thinks about running for public office again?

[csziggy]

54. Head slap! I should know better.

Actually I think Dr. Dean does our causes more good not in public office, unless of course, he is appointed to a cabinet level position. I am not sure he could or would try for President again and otherwise he would not be able to have the national exposure and influence he already has.

[AwakeAtLast]

37. Get lots of pics!

Have a great time!

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. Most definitely

:patriot:

[Lugnut]

40. Oh my!

How wonderful! Howard Dean still speaks for me.

[progressoid]

41. Yeeeeeeaaaaaah!

Too cool.

[Beaverhausen]

42. tell him I said "Dean/Weiner 2012"

[inna]

43. Awesome! K&R, and waiting for a follow-up post.

:thumbsup:

[Cleita]

44. Beg him to run for President again, not in 2012, but after Obama

has served his two terms. He will win in a landslide that time and he will be sorely needed to finish the job Obama started but without the fear of being too liberal.

[Hissyspit]

45. Tell him I said hello!

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. I will!

I'm sure he will remember us from Netroots! LOL

[Kahuna]

46. Have fun. I know that you will. The doctor is very inspirational.

:patriot:

[proud2BlibKansan]

48. Will do!

:patriot:

[chill_wind]

49. Awesome! So envious :-)

Enjoy every minute and tell us all about it tomorrow.

[tabbycat31]

50. insanely jealous

[bobbolink]

52. Would you be willing to ask a question that doesn't get any play with Dems?

Would you ask him why homelessness and the Desperate Need For Low-Income Housing isn't be addressed??

I know it isn't sexy, but it would be a first, and some of us would be very appreciative.

Thank you.

[unkachuck]

55. wow, I'm impressed....

....ask him if he'd ever consider another run for the Presidency?....if so, when? I've got a vote waiting for him....

[Subdivisions]

56. Thanks for reminding me...

That I've been meaning to do this:

[madinmaryland]

57. Please thank Dr. Dean for all of the work he has done!
