Those wanting to send good wishes to Barack Obama’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, can now take a virtual sharpie and pen a few words on her cast.
Organizing for America, a spin-off of Obama’s presidential campaign, has launched a cast-signing page, and according to the Kansas City Star’s Stargazing blog, invited some 1.3 million Twitter followers to send positive greetings to the judge on the New York City-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The page recounts that Sotomayor fractured her ankle Monday after stumbling at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.
“Despite the injury, she attended a meeting at the White House and met with senators on Capitol Hill. She didn’t skip a beat,” the DNC’s site notes.
The virtual cast is displayed in the form of a word cloud in which the most popular terms are larger than the rest.
Supporters are invited to fill out an online form. There’s no word on what will happen to ill-wishes. But well-wishes will be displayed on her virtual cast for everyone to see.
