Welcome to Connect! Unite! Act!
A daily series, Connect! Unite! Act! seeks to create face-to-face networks in each congressional district. Groups regularly socialize but also get out the vote, support candidates and engage in other local political actions that help our progressive movement grow and exert influence on the powers-that-be. Visit us at Daily Kos every morning at 7:30 A.M. Pacific Time to see how you can get involved. The comment thread is fun and light-hearted, but we're serious about moving the progressive political agenda forward. |
If you are new to the site or have been lurking, we invite you to join in the friendly banter here. Don’t be shy, you have something to say. Say anything, it will be well received. Join any of our communities at Daily Kos, just for camaraderie!
Who would you most like to meet?
This question is easy for me to answer. Of all the people alive today, I would most like to meet Barack Obama. I have to admit that I am his biggest fan. I think he is one of the most extraordinary people I have observed in my 65 years on this earth, and he is easily the best President, imho.
I have no doubt that he would be just as fascinating, funny, and fearless as he appears to be. The problem would be that I have so many questions I would like to ask him that I wouldn’t know where to begin. But I am sure that I would bask in his intelligence, his humor, and his warmth.
And my second choice would probably be Michelle!
So how about you, who would you most like to meet?
As always, this is an Open Thread!
LET'S BUILD IN-REAL-LIFE COMMUNITIES!
