During the campaign I listened to Michael Steele many times when he criticized John McCain and applauded him, and I told many of my dem. and rep. friends that If Mr. Steele was running for Pres. I would have Voted for him. I am a single Mom with 2 daughters in college. They are both rep. and face alot of opposition in school with classmates and teachers, but they never back down. They don't believe in abortion(other than cases of rape or the health of the mother) and know that hard work and dedication are the root to success, not a government hand out. I fight the fight of rep. at work everyday and I am called Sara Palin by a largely male work force and have been close to tears many times for my beliefs. I was raised in a big catholic conser. family and won't be swayed by my liberal friends and coworkers. It's been hard and at times a lonely fight but when Mr. Steele became the leader I finally had a glimmer of hope. Mr. Steele, stay strong and fight the good fight. T
