A diary by Homogenius told the story of an aged vet who froze after failure to pay his electric bill in Bay City. I just received and email from the Mayor of Bay City regarding Mr. Schur, the 93 year old veteran, who froze to death because of the limiter on his electric service. Email below the fold.

Last Wednesday I was in Morristown, New Jersey. I was there as part of a team to look at planning a sustainable future for Morristown. We had finished our work for the day and I was walking alone to a restaurant for dinner. On the sidewalk ahead of me was a group of African American kids. The interaction we had made my day.

This sounds like April fools but it's not. today Ella H posted this http://www.dailykos.com/... about the sale of Antioch college. I am proposing that we, as kossacks, buy it!

After comments, I have changed the title. The previous title was "Buy Dkos a College" and this was confusing. What I meant is that as a community we have the financial ability to actually buy a college. It would obviously take the development of an entity to deal with the financial part of it, such as a 501c-3, but people here are resourceful. This is meant as a call-out to those who think it is worth the trouble, those who may think they can contribute expertise and anyone who is willing to see an effort like this.

According to a comment below, the college is not actually for sale, but the current admins are trying actively to kill it so the assets can be sold. Accckkk!

Tired of the attacks. What about HRC's spiritual guidance? I know this diary is somewhat fact free, but I'm asking for some community action and help cause I just don't have time.

This historic moment is not by accident--the people of DailyKos have played an instrumental part in bringing it about and the rest of the diary is my attempt to thank all of you for what you have given me and, I think many others.

First post for me so be gentle. Or not. After reading the crap today have at it. I have a thick skin.

I have been reading ravenously over the last few weeks because this is a great time for the democratic party and for progressive causes. We have seen caucuses in Iowa where white people voted for a black candidate. We have seen turnout of democratic voters that dwarfs the republican response. And as of today we have at least a partial victory on the protection of our rights in the FISA debate. So why am I writing?
