I want to thank the anonymous donor for my lifetime Daily Kos subscription.
I opened my email this evening and received this message.
Dear Pam from Calif,
Congratulations! An anonymous benefactor has purchased you a lifetime gift subscription to Daily Kos.
To: Pam from Calif
From: An anonymous benefactor
The Daily Kos Team
I am amazed and surprised.
I found a liberal/progressive blog called Daily Kos after the 2004 Presidential Election. I was a lurker until the summer of 2005. Like many other Democrats; I was not happy about President GW Bush's handling of Iraq, Afghanistan, Hurricane Katrina and many other issues.
Many Kossacks have written about their life experiences and inspired all who have read their diaries. Many have led us where there was a need to help others: Pretty Bird House Women's Shelter, Feeding America Series, Haiti Earthquake Shelter Box Drive, Southern California Fires Live Blogs, Dakota Reservation, Kossack Community Quilts. The IGTNT Diary Series which honors our fallen military.
The light hearted diaries gave us a chance to decompress from the stressful day: the Pootie Diaries, the Photo Diaries, the music diaries, the cartoon diaries, the funny snarky diaries.
All of these diaries and the hard-hitting political diaries have affected me. I have learned about all kinds of important national & regional issues from fellow Kossacks. Like so many others; I came for the politics and stayed for the community.
Because of personal & financial reasons, I haven't been able to attend Netroot Conventions. I have been somewhat active in comments; but haven't been an active author of diaries.
Thank you, anonymous donor for my Daily Kos subscription. I am deeply humbled and grateful for this generous gift.
My simple words aren't enough to express my thanks. Please enjoy this tune:
