"Through the Internet, anything is possible."

“Undeterred due to my teenage optimism, I went online to a teenager’s two best friends: Google and Wikipedia,” Andraka said.

I see LauraPourMeADrink posted about Mr. Andraka already here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022439500

I share this 15-year-old's youthful enthusiasm about what we can DO.

Imagine what we can do TOGETHER.

Listen, I'm struggling as much as the next person to simply survive each day, but I've also grown weary of seeing people using social media simply to post cute pictures or to rant about the myriad things that are rant-worthy. I understand many are jaded, and even more of us are simply tired to the bone. But if you are odd like me and refuse to give up and create a self-fulfilling prophecy about our imminent demise, I invite you to join me to brainstorm and explore the various things we can DO beyond calling/writing our legislators and sharing the most excellent information found here at DU.

WE NEED TO DO MORE. We CAN do more. And we need to DO IT TOGETHER.


Please see the most recent "Help a DUer" OP: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022429507

If you agree with the above and want to explore how we can effect positive change together, please K&R and take a moment to join Wishadoo!, or at least sign up for the newsletter (see right sidebar area).

Thank you.
