Add YOUR face to the collage for ailing Jane Hamsher at firedoglake!
Edited on Sat Jan-20-07 12:03 PM by Nothing Without Hope
As many of you know, the wonderful Jane Hamsher of firedoglake has just undergone breast surgery for the third time. The surgery went well - here's an update:
http://www.firedoglake.com/2007/01/19/late-nite-fdl-we-need-your-picture
Rumor has it that Jane has been already been up and walking down the hospital hall roaring "BRING ME THE HEAD OF CHENEY!" or words to that effect.

Well, we can't give her the head of Darth Cheney - it would be a damned ugly addition to all the get-well bouquets anyway - but we CAN show our support for and solidarity with Jane in another way, as explained by firedoglake regular TRex:

(snip) Our good friend Monk has a project in mind. He wants your picture to make a collage of FDL readers. He needs at least 150 photos to get started, but I'm sure we can do better than that. Here are your instructions, as per Monk:

(I)f you could have FDL users send me the following to dartmonk at comcast dot net:

- an email with "Project JANE" as the subject
- any size .gif or .jpg image of themself (or with others in the pic) attached to the email
- 1 image only!
- include their name (either their nickname or real name) in the body of the email

I'd love to get at least 150 of them for the 'collage' - refer to it as that for now or present it however you like.

I'll do the rest.


You've got it, Monk. Kids, you have your marching orders. Now get to it.

Thanks to everyone who has written, donated, and offered assistance. We're not all the way out of the woods yet, but we're a hell of a lot closer than we were before the surgery. Everyone here at FDL thanks you and appreciates all you do. Thank you for being a friend of the blog. (snip)

1. kick for visibility - I hope DU people join in this project. She says
she can feel the love - so let's send her this big, solid chunk of it to boost her spirits and show how valued she is by the progressive community.

3. another kick for visibility. Recovery from cancer needs all the boosting
it can get, and Jane has done so much for us and for the country.

9. Thanks for the help kicking - I have to sign off for the night now.
My mug's not inspiring either, but it's going to be a tiny blip making up an image, and neither my real name nor my screen name will be associated with it. Jane ought to be blown away.

Good night all, and I really appreciate your keeping this kicked enough to be visible to those who want to participate!

:hi: :boring:

13. I'm glad your face will be in Jane's collage. As I see it, there are so many
people around here who appreciate you and are concerned about what you are going through now in your own life that this collage is for you, too. Jane would certainly approve!
:hug:
