She's not apologizing! (Emma Sullivan)

Emma Sullivan, 18, says she will not write an apology to Sam Brownback after telling her roughly 65 followers on Twitter that the Kansas governor sucks. Sullivan has gained thousands of additional followers since her high school principal ordered her to apologize to Brownback.

Sunday night, she tweeted the following: “I’ve decided not to write the letter but I hope this opens the door for average citizens to voice their opinion & to be heard! #goingstrong.”

Some of our Democrat* Party cowards could learn a thing or two from this young miss.

And that means you, Dick Durbin blubbering on the floor of the Senate.

12. Btw, if you have bookmarked one twitter url
as in above you can type anything into the "search" area for a topic you are interested in, say

Egypt

OWS

Then click on any of the other twitters users that come up.

I have a bunch of twitter icons on my toolbar, sitting like birds on a wire - I delete the title, because it takes up too much space - one can always figure out who it is my moving the mouse over the bird.

8. Good! And it's gratifying to see that her mother is standing by her daughter 100%!
Republicans like BROWNBACK who are so thin-skinned that they demand an apology because someone doesn't like them are fighting a losing battle.

13. Brownback is the one who should apologize for mean-spirited vindictive gossip called professionalism
