<p>This article, the picture especially put a smile on my face. </p>
<p>Having been following Piratenpartei for a few years now I watched the development of this party from the ground up, got to know many of those involved, and they were in my thoughts every day. Today I see this article and I had a sense of pride and happiness that I hadn't felt for a long time.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Piratenpartei and all those grassroots volunteers putting in countless hours towards the goal of getting their members into office. </p>
<p>I couldn't be more proud and excited for you.</p>
<p>Stay gold ponyboy ;-P</p>
