Dear Senator McCain,
Sir, I know the chances of you seeing this note are slim, but I want to send you a public letter of encouragement. I am so proud of you, and feel fortunate for every single day I’ve had the privilege of supporting you. I read “Faith of My Fathers” in 1999, and since then I’ve been 100% in your camp. You’ve never let me down for a second, and I have been delighted to hold you up as a role model to my three kids who have been involved in both of your presidential campaigns. In 2000, they were just babies, and they rode in their car seats while I dropped off yard signs once a week, and in that same minivan they have traveled to McCain events during this campaign. As a family, we watch you speak on TV, and they respond to your leadership and positive attitude with the same gusto that my husband and I do. My husband and I are both Veterans – he’s a jarhead and I’m a squid – and we wish that we could have served under you as our Commander-in-Chief. You are brave, strong, wise and judicious, and that is why I believe you will undoubtedly be America’s choice on Tuesday.
Sir, I was part of your California campaign through Super Tuesday, in fact I met you at your rally in San Diego on Super Tuesday. According to the media and the pollsters, all of us on your campaign would be looking for another campaign to work on after Feb. 5. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now! When California became essentially a winner-take-all state for you on Feb. 5, it defied most people’s expectations…but not the expectations of those who’ve been with you all these years. We knew better, because we knew you! We watched you lead from the front, and we followed you in a charge up the hill that resulted in victory; we will do the same in the next few hours of this campaign.
Senator McCain, you’ve articulated our cause so perfectly. Rather than focusing on the campaign we’re fighting against, you’ve reminded us of what we’re fighting FOR. You’ve reminded us of our families, our communities, our neighbors and our children’s future, and you’ve proven that you are the man to lead us toward a tomorrow that is even better than today. You make us hopeful. You make us proud. And we will not let you down! Fight on, Sir, and know that there are millions behind you that believe you will be the victor very soon.
God Bless you, and this great nation!
