My dear friend and our fellow Kossian 4freedom would love to go to Netroots Nation this year, but she can only get there if she wins a DFA scholarship. I can't think of any one more deserving, and I'm asking for you to help get her there.

4freedom thinks she deserves a NN scholarship because she has a passion for improving health through diet and nutrition and she wants to network with other activists at NN13 and help raise awareness of how we can better care for ourselves and our families by more natural and sustainable means. She's currently working on working on a series of essays and a book on self-care. Here's a link to a recent diary she published on the subject: http://www.dailykos.com/...
I think 4freedom deserves an NN13 scholarship because she's been a fierce advocate for me on so many occasions and this is my way of advocating for her. I can honestly say that I would not be here today if it were not for her untiring (heck, I got tired of me) and unfailing support this past year. She was there for one crisis after another. I'll never be able to repay her. I imagine there are a few other folks here who could probably say the same about 4freedom. She's a selfless individual who always puts the needs of others above hers. Hers has been a lifetime of advocacy and activism:
"I walked my first picket line at 17. At 71, I actively campaign to protect SS, public education, health access, marriage equality and peace." -- 4freedom
Fellow Kossack, Eclectablog recently wrote an article in support of 4freedom's work and efforts to win a scholarship to NN13: http://www.eclectablog.com/...
So do me a great big favor, and help 4freedom get her wish to go to NN13. I know she'll be a wealth a knowledge and support for her fellow activists and she's eager to learn from them and return to our community and share what she learned.
Please, go vote for our fellow Kossian here: http://nn13.democracyforamerica.com/...
Thank you!!
