"These words are not just simple statements. As many of you know, I have been very politically active here in Toledo, this community is my sphere of influence. Had it not been for the fact that I am a single mom, I would have ran for City Council. I have been involved in Presidential, Mayoral, City Council and several other campaigns. I have pushed my daughter's stroller during our door to door efforts, asking people to vote. I was president of our Latino Democratic Caucus. I love this country with commitment, not emotionally. My home state of Arizona is falling prey to unreasonable, senseless and hateful speech and acts. Recently, a congresswoman was shot along several other people including a nine year old. Giving myself to reflection and deep thought, I identified blind hatred towards my opposition and had to make an honest change in my thinking pattern. I had to confront my own thinking first and align it to my true passion. I believe that we can turn things around, I believe that there are many of us who are willing to stand for what is right. First, and foremost, I challenge each and everyone of you to take a check up from the neck up and obliterate hate from your mental patterns. Wherever you are, wherever you go respond with reason and peace, regardless of the hate directed at you or at the situation. Stand with me in this effort to spread reason and true love for all our brothers and sisters. May they be Democrats or Republicans. I will stand firm till my death. May our good Creator bless us all with the wisdom necessary to turn things right."
Is it just me? Whadaya think? Can she write, or what? I think I know someone who is going to re-enter the political arena sometime soon...
