One of my absolute favorites: The United Mine workers of West Virginia who walked off the site in protest of being used in an anti-Obama NRA ad without their knowledge or permission: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7279720

I haven't posted much lately but I have been lurking and it just makes me so damn proud to be a Democrat and a longtime union and labor supporter when I read things like this! There's dozens of other great stories out there; let's give 'em some props. Please post your favorite stories (doesn't have to be labor related; that's just where the inspiration for this came from).

B@L needs a little boost (not the best of times here--next week I can tell you why--it's a doozy but you won't be surprised, sad to say); I can't wait to read more about your heroes of democracy!

1. All You Guys on DU ('guys' includes women)

2. The man that died of a heart attack while canvassing for Obama.

3. Jennifer Brunner is one of our heroes.

She's doing an amazing job at fighting the GOP voter suppression tactics in Ohio, and is working for clear, fair, and transparent elections in that state.

4. Howard Dean and Robert Wexler..

[Downtown Hound]

5. Everyone who protested at the RNC

and faced some of the most brutal police repression this country has seen in more than a generation.
