... I did go and watch the film. She was amazing, wasn't she? I didn't think she was so ugly as a child, the way everyone around her painted her. In the end she was a happy & confident woman, respected by all who knew her, both at home and abroad. She did good.

in mind. She was an amazing woman. Her energy, her compassion, her wisdom, her generosity, her HONESTY -- those traits combined made her a powerful force for good at a time in which the world needed a lot of good.

I would like to see us hold her image, her words, her example in mind as we pick a presidential candidate to lead our nation in 2016.
