Hey girlfriend, I like your taste in music--and your taste in politics! You're the best, proglib!
I saw your comment on why you joined the vine. I liked it. So I hope you accept my FR.
Just want you to know, its out of great respect to you that I am holding back the urge to respond to an idiotic poster on one of your seeds. I really.... really want to... but Im not going to do it. I know that if I do, it will only end up as a discussion that has nothing to do with the article and likely I will be banging my head into my keyboard crying WTF?

Thanks for the comments and information on my seed. Hope you accept FR.
Progressive - Since mentioning this place on FB, I've received some response. With the holiday weekend there doesn't appear to be as much activity there so responses are trickling in. Prop member Ciera-Marie asked if anyone knew how to contact you and I referred her to your member name here, but could PM her your email if you want. Let me know.
It'd be nice to see even more familiar faces over here. I'm still trying to get the hang of it all. :)
