[undeterred]

[smoogatz]

3. Kind of like sending coals to Newcastle... n/t

[flpoljunkie]

[undeterred]

5. I'm a regular contributor to PPF

but I feel like he deserves something more!

[Wisconsin Larry]

7. Yes! That would mean the most and make the most difference! n/t

[flpoljunkie]

22. Absolutely! It will send a strong message.

[hippiechick]

8. Agreed!

:thumbsup:

[Vidar]

4. A Purple Heart and Medal for Valor.

[justice1]

6. How about some backbone from a cow, to give to other Dems

Oh wait!!! They can't do they that, they were already sent to Japan.

[Vidar]

40. The jawbone of an ass (insert favorite rethug) to slay Bushco.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

9. One nights free lodging at my house

But, only if I can get rid of my hubby that night.

JK, Kindof~

10. Stephanie Miller wrapped up like a birthday present.

Or she could leap out of the cake.

11. He deserves infinitely better.

[Kerrytravelers]

15. Wow. That was harsh.

On her show, Reingold is one of her many "future husbands." The image is from her site.

[undeterred]

Sorry. I really don't like her show.

I am always bugging my local Air America station to take her off and put anyone else on in that time slot. I find the bathroom humor childish.

[radio4progressives]

31. indeed! (gasp)

speed freaks and air heads need not apply!

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. How about some "Fine Gold?"

:7 Or some Chocolate "FINE GOLD" COINS?

he's a politician so there's probably a limit on what he can receive.

It needs to be something really cool.

[radio4progressives]

32. No Gifts! He's very Strict On Lobbying and Campaign Reform

Remember? Before this issue came up, that was why he went to Washington to clean up that town of the corruption and the cronyism.. (big sigh)

[northofdenali]

13. Dkos (willers) is trying to set up a flower thing -

using sunflowers! I think it's a great idea, if DU'ers want to get in on it. One of their folks was a big help to us with the Flowers for Helen.

I don't know how to post there :P or find anyone, or find a post, or link to it, or anything, but here's the gist:

Thanks! (0 / 0)
Back now after a nap (I have a horrible cold). Thanks for the diary pimping!

Someone suggested flags, so I combined the two... If the florist will do it we're going to send your choice of 5 sunflowers or 3 sunflowers + a little American flag.

Sounds like this is going to take off nicely... expect your marching orders tomorrow sometime. 8-)

I don't like Bizarro World... I want to go home to America.

Personally, I'm got your back on any effort! Already a donator to the PPF - but if that's what is decided, I can give more. Will keep my eyes open here and am ready to help!!

38. Thanks, Synnical!!

This whole thing was so much fun!

[DBoon]

14. Donuts

yummm

[AlienGirl]

16. Our votes in the primaries!

[juajen]

17. Blue Hydrangeas (sp.?)

I think they're masculine, yet graceful, and, wasn't he grace under fire? I was very proud of him, and furious that he had so little dem support. As a matter of fact, I think I'll change my avatar again; least I can do right now to show my support for Russ. I wonder if Hillary will notice? I still support her, BTW. I just need to show my feelings for that great democrat who practically stood alone today. Shame on you DEMS!

[DearAbby]

18. Post Cards from AMERICA

with Two words on the cards....IMPEACH BUSH!

Imagine the avalanche of post cards piled on the floor of the senate? It is possible to do this. People have been saying those on Capitol hill are out of touch with the main stream Americans...Maybe we should bring them up to speed? Write them postcards

[helderheid]

19. We can do roses again :) OR Organic Bouquet also has organic chocolates!

[undeterred]

20. We should flood the other 99 senators with why can't you be like Russ msgs

Here in Wisconsin I feel like I'm always telling Senator Kohl to be more like Feingold!

[rzemanfl]

21. Body armor? n/t

[undeterred]

23. Don't even think that.

We lost Wellstone, that's enough.

[rzemanfl]

27. John, Martin, Bobby...I'm older than you. n/t

[undeterred]

30. ...

I have memories of all those, so maybe not. :)

[rzemanfl]

33. Well, maybe so. Just didn't connect body armor with plane

crashes.

[undeterred]

34. Some people think Wellstone was murdered.

http://www.alternet.org/story/14399/

[rzemanfl]

36. Me too, but armor isn't much help in a plane crash, a parachute

would be better.

[hopeisaplace]

24. my body ..oh my gawd, excuse me, it's Friday.

:evilgrin:

[AnnInLa]

26. I think Something is called for, but maybe

we can coordinate with the Kossaks?? Like the above poster reported, they are trying to set up a diary with the sunflowers idea. If you haven't gone to Kos and read the whole diary that tells about DU and the roses, be sure to read it and all of the comments!

http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/3/31/151026/497

(boy, I wish we could do something with "fine" and "gold." what a terrific idea, but what?)

[pstans]

28. Send him a Spine Card

http://www.backbonecampaign.org/page.cfm?id=67

Easy to print off, either as a postcard or a bi-fold card.

[SnoopDog]

29. The White House in 2008!

[helderheid]

35. DailyKos is working on Sunflowers

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/3/31/125555/331

[undeterred]

37. For Feingold: a beautiful orchid and contributions to PPF

I like the roses/sunflowers idea but of course he will just give them away. And I don't think it would mean the same to him as to Barbara Boxer or Helen Thomas.

There is a top notch orchid grower close to his Madison/Middleton office where we could get something nice that he and his staff would keep and enjoy. Or we could get them a gift certificate to pick something out.

More importantly - we could also take the next two weeks to contribute to and fundraise for the PPF. After all, what we really want from Feingold, is more progressive leadership, and more power for Feingold!

[helderheid]

39. K & R!

[Katherine Brengle]

41. Roses. Keep the gesture consistent.

Helen is a tough lady, and Russ is a tough man.

A rose, by any other name...

Keep the gesture consistent.
