I am only going to name one DUer

[Zomby Woof]

newyawker99.


For over 5 years, newyawker99 has graced the Democratic Underground with unfailing warmth, kindness, courtesy, and class.

Whether you're a freshly minted newbie, or a grizzled flame-war veteran, Roni makes ALL of us feel included, welcome, and at home. For birthdays, anniversaries, and milestone posts, she lets us know that we are ALL important contributors to the cause of progressive politics and activism. While many of us seek refuge in the Lounge, Roni is a familiar and friendly sight, like a sunbreak through the clouds.

Few people conjure the feeling of community and belonging as much as Roni - our newyawker99!
