Should we send an e-card to Rep Sanders?
For those of you who are unaware, Rep. Bernie Sanders collapsed Sunday while attending the funeral of a Vermont National Guardsman killed in Iraq. He was treated for the flu and released from the hospital.

I thought it would be a nice gesture for DU to send him a "glad you are feeling better" e-card.


Any thoughts?

9. Should we design one with pics or graphics, or just keep it simple?
I'm lousy with words, so I'd love it if someone else wrote the text of the card ;)

10. Simple is usually better, but I think I'll leave it
