Happy birthday to the best activist in DU history
Hope he reads this from heaven.









http://tinypic.com/6jdbb4 (Freeper's idea, but we can all laugh)

(I know it isn't him, but isn't that a cute one?)

Finally..




Go on, my dear friend, rest in peace.

If anyone want to contribute photos to Andy, do it here.

10. This one's for you! Happy Birthday, my friend.
To dream the impossible dream
to fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
to run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong,
to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary,
to reach the unreach able star!

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far;
To fight for the right
without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
for a heavenly cause!


And I know, if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
that my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable stars.



:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:


I miss you, sweet friend. I think about you every day.:cry:
Help guide us through this darkness. I love you.

14. We could all make Andy very happy
If we could all see fit to get on the same page he read from.

Ya know, the page from the book of 'How to Steal A Presidential Election In 2004".

God Bush and Cheney. Gawd, how the time flies. Thanks for all you did, Andy. You were one of the first to warn us, and I pray we collectively heed your warning. Wish us well.

15. Happy birthday, dear, dear friend...
You continue to inspire us, and while you were here with us, we learned a great deal from you. We will be carrying on the battle for election reform in your name, thinking of you, and thanking you, with each victory.

16. Happy Birthday, Andy. No one can ever take your place.
We miss you.

I think today is a great opportunity to renew our committment to carry on Andy's work, not just for Andy's memory but for the country.

But it will be more difficult without him.

18. Happy Birthday Andy
I already told you this morning to your picture on my fridge. I hope you know what is happening, the tide is turning fast, maybe it is you and the others we have lost these past 5 years.

THANK YOU ANDY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

23. What a sweet post! Happy Birthday in Heaven, Andy! I came to know
about your short, courageous life after you had already died, sadly enough, here at DU. In heaven, you must know how much you were loved in life!

Rest in peace. Hopefully your presents will be coming soon in the form of some indictments and then some convictions.

28. Just raised a glass to him.
Didn't know him well, but enough to say: "There went a man."
