Today I want to post a remembrance of ANDY STEPHENSON!

He would have been in Washington making us all happy and proud. Here's to a wonderful human being!:toast:

And I'll drink to that. He would so have been at the march today.

:toast:

lots of people here. :hug:

He's close! :)

"Energy can neither be created or destroyed-
It only changes form"

YOU KNOW ANDY IS THERE TODAY!!!
Whispering "It's the paper ballots, stupid..."
HUGS to Dear Andy today and to the op
of this thread.
BHN

:hug:

We need more like him.

:toast: and let me add: :beer:

Damn. We need more Andys.

promised to keep his name and memory alive. And so we will.

person who worked his life away for election reform--a pioneer in outing the horrors of the voting "irregularities"we all know about now. He worked on lots of other progressive projects as well. Most of all, he was a dear human being, a friend to thousands, and very special to my son and me. He died of pancreatic cancer after a tough fight, helped by DUers who raised $50K to pay for his care. Activists don't get health care--that was his next cause. Lots of people here love him.

He sounds like he was a wonderful person.

This is one of the times I always say "Why him?" (Don't ask me who I'm saying it to----I'm not quite sure)

...he was a dear human being
He had a profound influence...an authentic patriot!

Peace.:hug:

even while sick.

The link tells much of his story. I am fortunate that he spent his last Christmas on earth with my family and me.

Sounds to me like he was a lucky man to have had such good friends in his life.

I still can't believe he's gone.

:grouphug:

:toast:

if he were there, and i wasn't in pain, i'd be there, it would be like the old days :toast: :hug:

you, singing and joking and giving you love.:hug:

:toast:

for always.

There was good mojo in Andy :toast:

:-(

and read them when you need a cheer up or to cry in remembrance.

serious, giving accolades to my kid, explaining the realities of politics to me. A micro world of important stuff.I feel honored to have had him in my little life.

I hear all of you and he IS still around! He hears you and knows you are remembering him!

I feel him, too.

Peace.

in honor of Andy and all our fallen DU heroes. The Silence Roars under the MP3 section. These good souls have inspired me so much. Oh yeah, it's at www.bluboomusic.com

It seems that especially those DUers who knew Scott and Andy personally might take some pride and solice in putting such a tribute together. I'm suggesting they put it into Demopedia ... since I notice there's nothing there to remember them. ... and nothing there to answer the question of "Who's Andy Stephenson?" or "Who's Kephra?"

he lives on at DU in every "toons" thread

a vital member of DU.

:thumbsup:

While I appreciate whoever is "carrying them on," I haven't yet clicked on one, because Jeff isn't there.

:cry:

Andy would have loved it! I'm sure he's watching!

Here's to Andy! :patriot:

:toast:

..................to Andy.

while I was marching in Seattle, so I'm glad you posted this rememberance, coffeenap. Thanks, and here's to you Andy! :toast:

When all and any of us who think so often of him can say that the
election reform /one person one undisputed ballot movement is a
done deal.

I think that one thing A. would like is for us to learn to be happy while we struggle for our causes.

Cuz someday our struggles will pay off and we'll need to know how to be happy then.

Carol

I'll pour a toast.

:toast:

He wasn't much of a drinker.

Pour whatever pleases you, that would make him happy.

;)

Thanks for posting this thread coffeenap, thanks for remembering.
:hug: :loveya:

To Andy and all who are marching today, where ever they may be! :toast: :woohoo: :beer:

:grouphug:

Peace!

this thread did for him! :loveya:

Andy would, indeed, have been in DC and he would have made us happy and proud. But that DU banner in front of the People's House (W-H) is making Andy happy and proud. Thanks coffeenap. :toast:

love and support for Andy and his family.

I raise my Groucho glasses in his honor.

:toast:

When we get honest elections again, I will always feel that he was the spark that made it happen.

If Rush is bothering to criticize us, we must be a threat to them
and their spin machine. May the force be with you.

May you all rest in peace. :grouphug:

did in his honor was beautiful.

to read them.

:toast: We miss you buddy. :(

:toast: To Andy.

;-)

for the reminder today to remember and CELEBRATE our dear friend, DUer, election reform teacher and activist.

You betcha Andy is participating in the DC actions! He is in the hearts and minds of so many!

To you, Andy! We miss ya and love ya!

exactly how he lives in my mind's eye! :hug:

:hug: Our Andy will live on in our hearts. :hug:

:loveya:

Our Hero Andy will have inspired us to victory!

:dunce: (me)

He would have been ALL OVER the Katrina mess, and the follow up Rita mess, too. Isn't his family in Texas?

:cry: I still miss him all the time. That little triangle icon that he used on DU...every time I see it on a poster's post, my heart skips. I keep feeling like he's going to show up any minute, and post something so typically Andy....something real. Something that really makes sense, or inspires us. :cry:

O8) But it's good to know he's helping from the other side, and he's prolly made buddies with all the angels, and talked them into helping, too....recruiter that he is! O8)

:toast: Here's to Andy! :applause:

And :toast: here's to his fellow activist angels, Kephra and Nostamj! :beer:

:loveya: We miss you guys!! :loveya:

at the very end, he had his own little place.

Thank you. :hug:

:toast:

so you were there with us too :D

I was with you all in spirit and it is great to know that a DUer wrote my name on the sign.

:hug: Thank you for letting me know and thanks to that great DUer. :toast:

:grouphug: :loveya:

Andy, Nostamj, and Khephra. :toast:

...in fact. We miss you Andy. We know you're with us. We love you. RIP

... on www.velvetrevolution.us. When that happens, I will post a thread to let you know. What a nice guy, and an inspiration to all of us.

Mist, indeed.

of us. :cry:

You think he'd have missed this? Not a chance!!!

To Andy:toast:

Peace.

He was there, when we leave this earth, we're suddenly everywhere.

:hug: :loveya:

at the march who he had enlightened and inspired. he was there, and always will be for the good fights.
:toast:

hearts and faces.

:toast:

Though I was thinking about Andy all weekend.

I really miss Andy too and can't even bring myself to delete his name off my cell phone contact list. The last protest I was part of in D.C. (Downing Street protest, in June) I called him from the crowd, hoping he would pick up; I was willing to hold the phone so he could hear everything. He was in the hospital by then and not well at all.

For the next march, we need an actual Election Integrity contingent, with a big orange banner screaming something like NO ELECTIONS, NO PEACE!

Andy'll be there.

going to keep his names there, just like his picture right here. :hug:

:toast:
