Senator Paul Wellstone is dead. He was a true hero, a man who understood that being a patriot does not mean being a sheep, a man praised even by his rivals for his kindness and dedication.

In memory of him, I did something I'd kept meaning to do yet putting off: I called my hometown election commission to get my absentee ballot.

The deaths of Sen. Wellstone and his family were senseless, but let's not let them be in vain. Get out and vote for the candidates of your choice (and no, I don't mean your "eenie meenie miney mo" choice).

Anyone can wave a flag. Be a real patriot: Vote.

You have made me so happy by saying this. I should go and get my absentee ballot as well. I keep meaning too, but I don't even know how to do it...I will find out and then go and have it taken care of.

Thank you.

I sat in the car as the story ended on NPR this evening and fought back tears. I saw Paul Wellstone speak at a Democratic training event in Iowa. Ever since I have been a huge fan.

I think I need to get a goodsized sign that says this for my car.

How sad!

I can't begin to tell you how much I agree with this. I was discuss flag wavers with someone recently and I said it's all well and good that people got all patriotic after 9/11 and decided to hang a flag but how many of these people actually VOTE? It's the most patriotic thing you can do.
