If you’ve even been reading Daily Kos for even a short time, you know that this is not just a place for politics (don’t tell MSNBC I used that in case they trademarked it). We have picked each other up when one of has lost a job or celebrated when a memorable milestone has taken place like a birth of a child.
This interaction is increased exponentially when we get the rare opportunity to meet once a year at Netroots Nation. This convention has been our opportunity to hear from our government leaders, share ideas, develop actions and, most of all enjoy the fellowship of our fellow progressives.
So when the time came to begin a big fundraiser for Netroots Nation, the Holiday Bazaar auction, we knew immediately who to turn to for auction items. Beginning with a diary from mcjoan several months ago we discovered how many Kossacks out there who were talented artisans.

So please, take a moment to celebrate this community of ours by taking a look at all 128 items (a few of them below) that have been donated by generous Kossacks. And, most importantly bid! All proceeds benefit Netroots Nation.
