As we get closer to this election day - a thread to remember DU'ers whom have passed on

[The Straight Story]

To the many who put so much of their time in here on DU and elsewhere for the cause and have passed on, I want you to know we are still thinking about you and that we did not give up.

I cannot even begin to name you all, lest I forget someone - I will leave it up to others to post your names.

We are nearing the biggest win we have had in so many years, we are near the end of a nightmare.

You can't be here to celebrate all this with us, but when I lift my glass this next election it will be with you in mind.

You are missed by those who knew you both here and off line.

A sad day that was...
