WILL YOU REMEMBER US ON WEDNESDAY (from your friendly neighborhood progressive)

I am:

Pro Animal Welfare

Anti-animal cruelty (and yes, this means your cheap but tormented "poultry" and "pork&quot

Pro-Environment and pro-environmental protections and regulation

Pro-Wall Street Reform

Pro real jail sentences for Wall Street criminals

Pro Corporate regulation (it can be sensible, but the big players cannot be allowed to do as they please)

Pro a citizen's right to his or her day in court

Pro retention of the causes of action meant to protect the citizenry (private enforcement is a crucial pillar of the system, folks)

Pro a person's right to live untrammeled by the predations of corporations

Please remember, I've been about as good and as loyal a friend to the President as you could find this whole election season. I've even been pretty damn resolute. I poured my creativity, over $5,000, and my sweat and all my will into our efforts.

On Wednesday, we go back to scrapping with each other.

Will you please remember me and others like me? Please refrain from calling me a troll. Please think about some of the positions I hold most dear, and think that maybe if a good Dem believes in these things, they might be worthy of more than scorn...

Please remember how hard I fought, and how so many others like me did the same.

We fought, even when the President tanked himself in that bizarre evening in Denver. We fought back and fought on.

Please extend us the courtesy of tolerating our passionately held beliefs and views.

Please don't forget everything that's happened these last seven or so months.

We stood up and were counted.

Thanks.
