...that I'm glad my daughter, Meeghan, has become interested in politics!
She sent the following letter to the editors of a number of newspapers.
"I am a lineal descendant of the Lathrop family who has been in this country since 1635.
I love this country with all her imperfections. I am a cousin of George Bush and Ulysses Grant, and I am a registered Republican who voted for McCain in the Virginia Primaries in 2000. Today I live in Jacksonville, Florida.
As this campaign begins to close in on its expiration date, I find myself still trying to grasp just what the Republican ticket stands for. John McCain's campaign seems very disorganized and erratic at times. They can't even stay firm to a campaign slogan. I voted in 2000 for McCain because he WAS a maverick who DID put "Country First", but for the past eight years, McCain has put himself first and has succumbed to the status quo of his party. The man I see today, is NOT the man who I respected and admired those years ago. The man I see today has put his own ambitions first and that disappoints me. During the past eight years, this countryʼs policies have morphed into something unrecognizable. It seems more like the United States of Socialist America. After eight years of lies and secrets from THIS administration, enough IS enough. With the slogan of the month of "Country First" why isn't this being reflected in McCain's choice for Vice President? Why won't Sarah Palin sit down with the mainstream media and answer some basic policy questions?
With what appears to be more lies and secrets coming from the McCain Palin campaign why would I want to vote for them when I can vote for someone who's campaign has been strong, on point and consistent?
I like the policies that Barack Obama stands for. I do believe that the people can come together and reach compromise on such issues as gun control and abortion. Therefore, I will be voting for the more honest, consistent, and transparent candidate...Barack Obama."
