Mrs. Clinton, I weeped for the pain you must have felt and for the disciplined straight face you had to keep in giving your speech today. I had thought of you as America's mom that would nurse it back to health after 8 years of division, deception, and destruction. THEN eight years later, I thought, a healed American would be ready for Obama. It's a long way from supporting Bush heart and soul in 2000. But man is a learning creature. Yet, I don't need to learn much about McCain, his fellow POWs saw to that. But I didn't need that either, for his political career, his medical condition and his geriatric way of lying to hide his confusion have been paraded before my eyes in my years as a Republican. Senator Clinton, I was born under Nazism and raised under Communism. I was brought over a decade as a refugee to this , what my dad insisted was "The Paradise of Freedom." Bush turned it into the Hell of Fear. As a survivor of the World Trade Center on 9/11, I devoted myself to honoring my fortune by struggling for America returning to its Constitutional ideals. Now I beg you to hold to your word to fight for an Obama victory with all you have, for the sake of your daughter, my children and all our children to whom we pass America. Our military is voluntary. We have used up the patriots...we have used up the heroes...we have used up the professional soldiers and the home guard reservists. We are beginning to dip into the morally and mentally in doubt. Either we reinstate the draft, quit our wars or work to raise another generation that values America as much as we did when called. I beg your forgiveness for my past outrage...It is all behind us. I will prove my faithfulness by supporting all your goals for America through elected office. You were kind to me once when the Rodino Committee sought to intimidate me. I never forgot and that was the basis of my faith in you as a person, a woman, a mother and a patriot. Please stand with Obama and know that I will stand with you. It may not seem like much, but I can be multiplied and as many, WE are invincible. God bless you as a woman and a patriot. Thank you.
