The Dalai Lama Dude! Award Established

In response to an overwhelming need, the Dalai Lama Dude! Award was established early in 2008 during the Democratic primary elections across the U.S. At this time, a proposed Presidential ticket of Hillary Clinton as President and Bill Clinton as Vice-President was made. The general reaction to this was, "Dude!, even the Dalai Lama would love this!."
