Thank you, Bernie, for proving
that all of this could indeed happen.
Thank you for getting as far as
you did.
Thank you for reawakening a wave
of excitement within the Democratic Party.
Thank you for championing a list
of issues that I could heartily agree with, and for refusing to be
distracted from your agenda by the usual mudslinging and other
negative campaigning tactics so common in politics today.
Thank you for not selling out to
big donors.
Thank you for showing that all of
this was even possible in today's political environment.
Thank you, Bernie, for running --
and for running the way you did. We'll all remember you and your
campaign for a long time to come.

Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
