I AM a tea-party activist, not a racist.
I grew up on the Eastside. I went to college, earned a job teaching school, got married, bought a house, had a baby, and stayed home to raise my children. We live in the same house we bought in 1986. Our only debt is our mortgage. A few months before 9/11, my husband was laid off and for six years worked very hard to bring home the bacon taking on various jobs. We survived.
Every election I have cast my vote. Occasionally, I have written the governor, as well as a few senators and some representatives to express my opinions regarding various issues.
But that just doesn't seem to be enough.
I would classify myself as a conservative mix of the various parties. I want a smaller government, an environment that is cherished, and citizens who take personal responsibility for their actions. I want those in need to be cared for, a military capable of protecting us, and the Constitution to be followed. I want our national borders to be secure and a national balanced budget. I want liberty for all, inasmuch as it doesn't encroach on the liberties of others.

To the point. I’m glad she is on our side.
Heartbreaking...and so true.
Those people are what they call us!
They always project their actions and beliefs on us instead of owning them. Then call us the intolerant ones.
