<\/a><\/p>\n

Andy Stephenson lost his fight with cancer last night. He was a great fighter but, apparently, this was one he couldn’t win<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I only recently got to know Andy over the past year, but he instantly became a friend. As if I’d known him my whole life. I know there are thousands out there who feel the same about him.<\/p>\n

He was a great supporter of this blog, of The BRAD SHOW<\/a> (he helped us get our first show on the air, and appeared as a guest that night<\/a>) and was one of the original advisors at Velvet Revolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His loss is a tremendous blow to the Election Reform movement, and to America.<\/p>\n

He will be missed…but he will never forgotten.<\/p>\n

Godspeed, Andy…<\/p>\n

UPDATE 7\/11\/05:<\/b><\/p>\n

  • Just before he passed, Seattle Weekly<\/i> outlined Andy’s battle<\/a> against cancer and the despicable folks that challenged the credulity of his illness even while he was under the knife and fighting for his life.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Seattle Weekly’s<\/i> article on Andy’s passing<\/a>. Including information about the memorial for Andy to be held at Town Hall in Seattle at 1119 Eighth Ave., on Saturday, July 16, at 2 p.m.<\/li>\n

  • Some moving words of tribute to Andy by William Rivers Pitt<\/a>.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Some well placed rage from William Rivers Pitt<\/a> on the loathsome Freeper ghouls who helped push Andy into his grave.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Attorney Paul Lehto, who, with Andy, was part of our original “Divestiture for Democracy” campaign team at VelvetRevolution.us<\/a>, eulogizes and rages<\/a> as well.\n
