#VotePup has his formal attire on to say Thanks Gen Z!

This short entry may get lost, but i just have to get it out there.

As many victory laps are justifiably all over DK & the entire Dem landscape, one voting group truly stood out on 11/8 almost everywhere that normally does not: Gen Z.

Z organized and showed UP!

Z could have tuned out and stayed home or not taken an afternoon off to vote due their 2-3 jobs (god we need to fix that!)

This message needs to be SHOUTED from everywhere, everyone analyzing the election, for a while…

THANK YOU GEN Z!!!

Please stick with us — we are your Dem party too! We need and want you!!! And Dem leaders need to draft you into leadership STAT!

Kossacks — add your thanks messages here if you want!

I like the new DK!

I see lots of complaints about the new DK, and I wanted to try and counterbalance it… I have seen all versions back to V1, and I like this the best so far.

I can finally, FINALLY view DK properly and reliably on my mobile devices! That right there is a win, hands down (especially considering getting our message out to the world where more people use mobile devices to brose than ever before). The previous DK versions never held up well on mobile devices, in my opinion of course, so imagine my happiness when I looked at it last night on my iPAD for the first time.

So, just to put a little “positivity” out there — I like it KOS staff and Markos! Well done!

(Now either go back to complaining about DK5 or go play with your pet and chill out!)

I am not sure how I got this email, but this promises to be fun. The Republicans, in the interest of "transparency" are broadcasting the crocodile tear laden ceremonies and speech for Boehner tomorrow.

Go here tomorrow if you can, and let's be sure the Progressive voice is truly heard (after all, we're the majority they're ignoring!)

Here is a video I got today in email from the Courage Campaign. It's worth a laugh, and then once the bone-chilling reality of what she represents sets in - send this one to everyone you know.

This is hilarious, and very much on key, too. The California Governor's race is going to be very interesting to watch. Ultra-rich ex-eBay CEO, Meg Whitman, will try to buy the Governor's mansion up against the ever-thrifty Jerry Brown. What a great study in opposites! In a year when anti-corporate stances are becoming the norm from voters, Whitman has a lot to answer for before getting the Governor's seat.

My partner and I are one of the "privileged" 18,000 LGBT married couples left in California. We had a bitter day watching as all our friends who have not found the right person, or simply had bad timing, lost their rights. We are now on a small island with 17,998 more people watching two new groups of people: Prop 8 marriages and "the rest". We are ANGRY, HURT, and SICK of the broken Calfornia and Federal systems.

I could honestly care less about who the next Supreme Court nominee is, because I trust Obama. If she doesn't get voted in, then he will have someone just as fabulous ready in the wings. (I love her bio & possibilities by the way)

Disclaimer: I know we are all political junkies here, but once in a great while I see something like this that makes me so happy my heart aches. Hope you like this and rec it all around to give this lady some serious props. If you (or someone you love) have ever had a weight problem or self-esteem issues, rec this diary for Susan Boyle!!!

I don't have much time to write a regular diary, but this story just took my breath away. Susan Boyle just wow'd Britain's "American Idol" equivalent. Even Simon got into it! This is a very, very special moment for anyone who has battled a weight problem or self-esteem issues. I am proudly past that part in my life, which is why this story makes MY heart sing!

(I've never asked anyone this before, because my writing skills are nowhere near the majority of fine Kossacks on this website. However, this is a VERY important "Action" diary, so please fellow Kossacks - REC THIS UP!)

Main National Protest 8/Marriage Rights Website

We've all seen the anti-Prop 8 diaries in wide varieties of angst, finger pointing, and chicken bating, but this diary is not about any of those topics at all. I've done it myself this week - this week was the perfect definition of "bittersweet". Even Markos said it so well in his front page diary the other day.

Main National Protest 8/Marriage Rights Website

Now it's time to get organized and take action. I want to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, and I found a great first step: November 15th is the first National Day of Protest. Check it out below.

Yes, I am ELATED about Obama!

However, Californians have chosen to take aways rights from us, but animals get more protection.............

UPDATE from the comments: I don't mean to take a "win from the animals" at all, and I apologize if my title was taken that way. The absurdity that the seriousness of both of these two Propositions was not upheld by enough in California is really disturbing.

Well, we just had a very interesting visit that fired me up a bit. We're a gay couple who are about to get married soon, so the two visitors that knocked on our door this morning were more than a little caught off guard when I opened the door with my Obama shirt on & things got interesting...

Dear Senator Kennedy (and fellow Kossacks),

I wanted to respond to your diary, but I was so caught between being thrilled with your words and appalled at the lack of action that would inevitably follow, that I was not sure it was appropriate for just a reply in a Senator's diary that will get lost to the Dkos archives eventually.

I sincerely respect you, your career, and your family, and this is not meant as an attack on you personally. I am a HUGE FAN of what you and your family have done in the past for this country. My concern is that words have done nothing... absolutely nothing... to stop what this administration is doing. To be honest, this is why I didn't turn on C-Span 2 to watch your speech.

It's getting late, and shortly the east coast will be the first Americans to usher in the New Year of 2007.

In the mid-West, they will follow shortly, and in just under five hours my area (west coast) will say goodbye to 2006 and hello to 2007.

It's been quite a year for us Kossacks. I don't pretend to be as wise as teacherken or many others, but for any who are logging tonight before or during the turning of the New Year, this is for everyone!

Why are you a Democrat?

This is a vital question we need to ask ourselves daily, because we have a country that needs to make up its mind. So many Americans are "Independent" or "Undecided" or (shudder) not registered to vote - it's scary. I also know from personal experience that a lot of Republicans are not sure what they themselves believe, especially now with their party completely unrecognizable from when they joined.

This is a call to go out talking to everyone you meet, because the best way to talk with anyone is personal examples - not stale rhetoric. We need to speak to everyone we know about making the best decision for themselves and their families with their vote.

Below the fold: Please share why you are a Democrat, and spread the word! Read More
