Your responses to the "thank you card" have been great.  Already, several hundred young dems (and a few old ones) have signed the card - and there has been a wide array of personalized comments which we will deliver to Dem leaders next week.

The vast majority of the comments reflect appreciation for the college affordability victory, efforts to fight climate change, and the increase in the minimum wage (to name a few). 

There are also a bunch of comments that express thanks to the Dems - but urge Congress to get more aggressive on the war, especially in light of yesterday's defeat of the Reid-Feingold legislation to cut off Iraq funding.

Here are a few:

Thank you for all of your hard work, but please don't stop fighting to end this unjust war. It may be impossible with our current administration, but that you fought at all maybe the only solace to be found when we reflect on this enormous tragedy in the future.- Jillian (NY)

Thank you for fulfilling your promises to make America a more equitable place! But you aren't done–I appreciate your efforts thus far, but I'm paying attention. You must fulfill your promises completely. The students of this country are paying attention.  - Hayley (CA)

As the youngest person on the ballot for Congress last November, I wish I was there with you right now. Certainly, progress is being made and we have much to be thankful for. We must be tougher on Bush. We must not allow Republicans to block legislation so easily, with only the *threat* of a filibuster. I wish I could be there fighting with you now, but my path leads in a different direction, as I work with many young people around Florida to take back our state legislature and build a solid Democratic majority. Again, thank you for your hard work and please, keep fighting. - Michael (FL)

Better than the Republicans, but PLEASE get a backbone and STOP FUNDING THE WAR!!!!  - Sarah (AZ)

I thoroughly and genuinely appreciate everything you have done that will benefit all Americans, including today's youth (tomorrow's leaders and innovators). Your work to make college more affordable and thus available to more people, to expand stem cell research for important medical breakthroughs, to increase minimum wage for thousands of blue-collar workers, to take actions against global warming, etc. are all actions that will improve the lives of millions of people not only in the nation, but across the globe. Knowing this, I would like to once again thank you for all you have done and hope to see continued positive actions in the future. - Peggy (MD)

It is a relief to me, as a young Democrat, that finally progress is being made after 6 years of regression. It is especially reassuring that congress recognizes the importance of federal aid in paying for college and also the impact that a college education has on future success. If it were not for Federal Pell grants I would not be able to attend college. Thank you, thank you, thank you! - Jennifer (TX)
