![The [fill in the prefix]est thing I saw today](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp71iBeal5n6xNxHPfmQ5PLqPm9eBX2-qXX5R9L6a_o6n1HWW_cNq8YGdNHhh3YobWbLdemQalOTqkG9lYxWcphAT7a2KTuRnsTp6PrggVuQzvuDAmiHY3T0KEN_i4-ctFpovEJVq5oj0/s1600/banner.bmp)
That is a campaign bumper sticker for US Senator Paul Wellstone, a wonderful man. A man with the moxie and courage to change the world and to speak for those who were not being heard.A man who died 6 years ago in a terrible plane crash days before the end of a heated election.
His passing left a huge void in the hearts of many Minnesotans. Some people still have his campaign yard sign in their yards, numerous buildings have been named (or re-named) in his honor and some put his legacy into action.
Recently I saw this take on/response to the "Wellstone!" bumper sticker:
I suppose they can mourn their heroes too.
Sigh.

There would be no left with out the right.
Very true.
I still have my WELLSTONE! button and my STAND UP! KEEP FIGHTING! Wellstone button. Think I'll wear them Tuesday night in honor of Mr. Wellstone. I miss him more and more with each passing year.
I know what you mean, mnmom! Believe it or not, mty Wellstone button BROKE as I rode the bus home from work the day he died. I just about lost it right there on the bus.
I would have cried too. I was truly depressed for weeks. What a loss. And, truthfully, I don't think it was an accident. I HATE that this administration has made me a conspiracy nut wearing a tin-foil hat.
things like that just break my heart.
