I just came back from the hospital.
My dad (the 80 year-old who I'd helped to sign and forward the Conyers' letter) was rushed to the hospital last night with a hemorrhaging blood vessel in his stomach.

He's doing well now, thanks to a few transfusions and a procedure to have the vessel cauterized (thank God).

But what were his first words to me when he woke from the anesthesia?

I swear to you, this is NO LIE.

"I forwarded that Conyers Letter to EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK. What's the latest news?"

He will be thrilled when I tell him that we've already reached the initial goal of 100,000 signatures!

So this is for everyone who signed and everyone who spread the word:

Thanks to all of you for believing in our democracy! Let's keep this going! Together, we can bring this country back from the brink!

edited to add: And thanks to all of you for your best wishes for my dad. After all these months, I can't believe I haven't thought to lead him to DU. But I will definitely show him this page as an example of what a great community this is!
:grouphug: to you all.
