Hi,

Also from Melbourne, Australia.

There’s a real energy on this site that I reckon lacks in most. I’m a daily dropper-in, and always leave happier and/ or more disgusted for it.

Keep on burning,

http://www.nedlamont.com/page/invite/callinginsick

listen to it. It is almost ROFLMHO.

I’m pushing Diane Benson’s campaign in Alaska against Don Young for our sole house seat to craft a version of that ad for her campaign.

Any ideas for content or variation on approach?

Since then it also became evident that our party apparatus has become severely corrupted by hacks who only want to extend their political careers.

This blog reminds me everyday that there are Americans like me out there who are outspoken and are able to string cogent thoughts that mean something to me, instead of those who want others to think for them and are just dittoheads with little substance.
I find it difficult to contribute as there are so many voices that are more talented writers than myself.
Also, I lurk to avail myself of the intellect that is missing in my community.
Thank you for asking.

I recommend this site to many of my friends who share my INTENSE sense of frustration with our hideous President, his vile policies, his lies and obfuscations.

I feel great frustration too with the Democratic party, though, of course I have always voted for them.

And the media…I’m at the point where I often have to turn off NPR — just can’t stand to hear people like Cokie Roberts say bullshit like “How can people care about health care when they don’t feel safe.”

And don’t get me started on Lieberman. I live in Connecticut. We’ve got to get rid of Lieberman, and Shays too. And I wish Chris Dodd would grow a spine and become more engaged.

Firedoglake helps me feel that all is not lost. It makes me feel connected — everyday.

I don’t comment because I’m the kind of writer who needs to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite in order to get it (kind of) right. I’m impressed w/ the ability of Jane, Christy, TRex and the rest to just “knock it out.”

I am very aware that I need to become more engaged politically — beyond voting.

By nature, I’m not a joiner. But I need what this site provides for the same reason as many- to not feel alone, in a land gone mad. I read FDL every day, and want to say thanks to all that contribute.

ps- dislike the term “lurker”. How about “wallflower”?
