HE LOVES US!!!
I want you to know, I attended a RNC meeting in San Diego, tonight. The meeting paid particular attention to those Hispanics running in the various districts in our State, and for Insurance Commissioner (Gary Mendoza -- who was there and spoke, too). Our Pres had a taped message IN SPANISH and what color tie do you suppose he had on???? HIS ORANGE TIE! It IS a symbol of gratitude and support and a cause bigger than you can imagine.
RNC Leader and Gov of Montana, Mark Racicot spoke. One of the main reasons I went to this meeting, tonight, was to see him.
Do you remember the contribution he made to the Impeachment of grrrrhhhh...I can't even say his name? Do you remember the calm and resolve he gave us all during the 2000 elections? I tell you, this man is marvelous! And, do you know what he spent most of his speech time talking about? I'm paraphrasing, but it was mostly about touching the lives of a fellow human being, believing in the goodness of people, and neighbors talking to neighbors to inspire each other. He spoke of President Bush as being the one that drove that feeling home to all those around him, and that this is what the Republican party is all about. That feeling of patriotism that exists inside us all, that is so strong, and everyone's actions big or small, matter. And then....he said something that is the "orange tie" to my husband and me...
When we met George Bush in Oct. of 2000 in West Chester, PA, my husband handed George a letter, and in that letter, he mentioned "doing the right thing, for the right reasons." Mark Racicot said it tonight, too. We have been saying it, when we've spoken to Bill Simon, and others in the party, so that it gets said and its power, understood. It rolled off of Mark Racicot's tongue. He spoke, and there was such an aire of goodness all around him. His voice is so calming and his words are elequant and so thoughtful. His mannerisms so confident and caring. I tell yah, you would say "this man is going places" but I believe he's already there.
Who you surround yourself wtih, says a lot about a person. If Mark Racicot is any indication (and we all know he is, because of the many high quality, wonderful people our Pres surrounds himself with) George Bush is the best of the best.
There was a raffle, at the end of the meeting. You got to win a picture of George. I wanted that picture so badly. I'm glad others won, but I would have been honored to have won one.
Everyday, I am reminded about what a wonderful human being we have as our President. Thank you, dear George, for taking on the job. We are so blessed to have you as our President!
