Dear Governor Palin,
My name is Patricia Melton, and I am the President-for-Life of the Mineral City Coffee Club here in Mineral City, Ohio. I dont know if you have Coffee Clubs up in Alaska, but you should. I imagine it gets really cold up there, and theres nothing like a hot cup of coffee and spirited conversation with good friends (and even people you cant stand) to take the chill out of the air and get a little fire in your belly.
This morning, the Mineral City Coffee Club is getting our little care packages ready to take out tomorrow on Christmas Eve, visiting with people we know dont have a lot of friends or family. Weve baked cookies, made some ornaments, and are putting together little stockings for people. Were all Hillary Clinton supporters here, who long ago found inspiration in her book, It Takes A Village, and were here to tell you that this little village in Ohio makes it our business to ensure the spirit of Christmas remains alive and well, thank you very much. I have my son Robby do this up in Chicago where he lives too, and would ask my daughter Ann-Louise to do it in New York, too, but I know she wont because shes so damn selfish. I honestly dont know whats wrong with her, but Im not going to let her spoil another Christmas. The less said about her, the better.
Grace, our Coffee Clubs Vice President, suggested I write you today to let you know that in addition to the usual Hillary Clinton Christmas ornaments weve been making, and the standard red-white-and-blue ones that are just generally pro-American, weve also taken to making Sarah Palin ornaments for peoples trees. Therere nothing too fancy, because I am the only one with any artistic talent of any merit in all of Mineral City, but weve got a lot of glitter and decoupaging glue and bulbs in all sizes. We used the computer and the Internets and the printer to find nice photos of Hillary Clinton and you (but not together, because we dont believe youve ever met, yet) so we could cut them out and make our ornaments with them.
In years past, the Coffee Club did this on our own in my kitchen, with my husband Earl sporadically helping by showing up unexpectedly here and there to gobble up any unattended cookies and get glitter and glue all over himself and as much of my furniture as he could possibly manage. I have to watch that man every waking moment. Hes worse than the cat-babies, who dont know any better, since they arent people. Theyre cats. Earls a grown man who acts like those are the last cookies on Earth, when I can bake more at any time. But, apparently, cookies meant for someone elses Christmas stocking are the most delicious ones to that man. I dont know if your own husband Todd behaves like this, but I hope not.
Since you ran for Vice President last year, a really funny thing has happened here in Mineral City. The Ladies Guild, which is Republican women, who previously never got along with us (mainly because they hated Hillary Clinton and I was convinced many of them were vampires), started doing different activities with us as we helped try to get you elected. Weve all found that the lot of us have more in common with each other than the crazy people who are now currently running the government from the far left.
Every day, someone from the Ladies Guild will say, I cant believe Im having coffee with the Mineral City Coffee Club here in Hillaryland like this, and I think, I cant believe these women are walking around in broad daylight without bursting into flames. I even serve those cinnamon rolls with the little icing crosses on top and they eat them with no troubles at all (instead of having their mouths catch fire, which is what I would have thought would have happened just two years ago).
So, these appear to be very strange times indeed. People who never agreed on anything are agreeing with one another, because were looking passed our differences and accusations of vampirism to the fact that we all love this country and dont want to see it go backwards or descend into socialism. We do not believe the current occupants of the White House are good people and we do not feel they love this country. The current president had a very clear agenda upon coming to Washington, and it was not the Hope, Change, and unicorns he promised the gullible in his campaign. We believe, and everyone in Mineral City agrees with us, that the Democrats in power now want to tank our economy, take over whatever remains at the end of the day, and deprive all of us of our freedoms.
I run my own aquaculture farm here in Central Ohio. The other club members are all small businesswomen, too, except for Ann Millar who is lazy and still lives off the money her father left her. I dont care for that woman at all, but every morning, there she is at my door, mug in hand, wanting free coffee. Ive never once turned her away, because thats not what we do here in Mineral City. I dont like the raccoons that come around to eat my garbage, either, but I never throw rocks or anything at them. I think I just might be some kind of saint, as people in town often tell me.
I dont know why Im telling you all this, but I guess its because you seem like one of us.
Youre doing a fantastic job raising such wonderful kids. You work so hard to fight corruption in government and put the bad guys in their place. Our Coffee Club Secretary, Helen, is an EXPERT on the Internets and always lets us all know when youve made another of your Facebook posts. Oh, she prints those out and we all gather around together, really close, and Helen will read them aloud and we get so fired up. We practically want to get up and go door to door and read them to everyone in town they are that good. I could probably write some that were better, if I tried, but thats not a knock against you, its just the reality that Im older than you and have been doing this longer and am an excellent writer, perhaps the best in all of Mineral City.
Youre pretty good too, though, and we all loved your book (except Ann Millar, of course, who insisted on reading Dreams William Ayers Told My Father Whoever He Was, or whatever that book by the current president is called, instead of participating in the Going Rogue book club we held when your book came out).
This year, my holiday wish is that you become even more of a force on the national scene next year. Normally, I wish my husband Earl would get a new hobby besides screwing around with model trains in the basement or I wish my 36 year-old daughter would finally grow up and take responsibility for actions. But, since those wishes never come true, Im going to start wishing about you now instead.
If you run for President in 2012, you can count on The Mineral City Coffee Club and the Ladies Guild joining forces to campaign for you. Ill turn my kitchen into a little campaign office, humming with activity. My son Robby loves you, and all his friends up in Chicago will work hard for you too up there. Well all head into Iowa on the ground for you, and will go to as many states as we can in person to canvass. Well phone bank like crazy for you, too, you betcha!
Just two years ago, at Christmas, we were on the ground for Hillary Clinton in Iowa, so we saw every nasty thing the current president and his surrogates did on his behalf. I wanted to write in and let you know not only what support you have, but what you will be up against. These people hate America, will stop at nothing to circumvent every rule and law we have, and will do anything imaginable to win.
The only person any of us think can stop him is you, Governor Palin.
You are our only hope.
As we make our little ornaments for our trees, and paste your face to the bulbs, adding little Palin 2012s to them in glitter and decorating them with moose stickers our Treasurer Annabelle found at JoAnns Fabrics, we mist up a little thinking about how much we want to see you in the Oval Office, and little Trig playing in his snowsuit on the White House lawn with big sister Piper starting in 2013.
We have no idea what you wish for, or what you are planning, but thats our wish for you and our wish for our country.
I have to let you go now, as these Christmas stockings are not going to stuff themselves, and that big CRASH! I just heard from the pantry means Earls gotten into Heaven knows how many cookies, so I better get back to it while I still have any cookies left at all.
But, Merry Christmas to you, Governor. Merry Christmas to all the Palins, and the Heaths, and everyone in Alaska. You will be well-represented in all the homes of Mineral City on our Christmas trees this year and just so you know, were making plenty of ornaments to set aside for all the people of Iowa, should you make your run and we find ourselves going door to door in the Hawkeye State round about Christmas 2011, just like we did for Hillary.
Thank you for your service to this country, in the past, present, and FUTURE!
Patricia Melton
President-for-Life
The Mineral City Coffee Club
I hope you will read this nice open letter Governor. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. And we are praying hard that we will be able to help you be our President in 2012. Thank you Sarah for all you do for America. We need you :-)
Hillbuzz has great articles and posts.
Thanks for sharing this one.
This is a LOVELY read from a woman representing the Mineral City Coffee Club in Mineral City, Ohio.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
btt
great post
Why did it take so long for these people to see what their party was all about?
Thanks onyx!
Sarah is President No. 45.
And she'll help us get a Republican/Conservative Congress elected in November, 2010.
You betcha.
Thanks for the ping, Onyx.
Merry Christmas to you and Dr. O
A great post—There is broad support for Sarah Palin in the midwest. I was not a fan of Hillary but I know in my heart the nation would be in better hands if she was in the White House—at least I believe she truly loves this land. Sarah can undo the damage of Obama and his minions of the undead. Let us do all we can to get Conservatives in Congress and sarah in the White House.
Thanks, and even if we are but 600 we need to go forward! ;)
A Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks for the ping. That’s a great letter. I wonder if there really is a Mineral City Coffee Club that meets with the Whatever Republican Ladies League? I want to believe in that just like I want to believe in Santa Claus and the 3 Wise Men. Peace on earth, good will to (wo)men!
Yes, I have every reason to believe both groups genuinely exist. I don’t think the Hillbuzz would have published without confirmation.
Merry CHRISTmas dear friend. I suppose you’re snowed-in.
I’ll check e-mail later today.
((( HUGS )))
Blessings of the holiday season to you all. God has a plan. ........Just wish he’d let us in on it.... OTOH faith is the opposite of worry....So have faith.
Keeping the Faith!
God Bless All of Us and Merry CHRISTmas!
Thanks for my first giggle of the day!!
And a Blessed and Joyous Christmas to you, dear friend. I value your friendship
This is a very interesting letter, ripe with symbolism (whether intended or not). It doesn't surprise me that Hillary supporters are turning to Sarah. Not one bit. As written in this letter, even they can see the farce that is currently in the WH. Even Mr. Hillary has said on numerous occasions to not underestimate Sarah. I firmly believe there's an unspoken respect between Sarah and Hillary. And rightfully so. Let's pray that millions more will have the same revelation and support Sarah.
BTW, letters like these are the VERY reason the Dems are doing everything they can to go after Sarah.
Great read! Can’t wait to sit down and read my copy of Going Rogue that I received for Christmas. Go Sarah!
