"This is why it's good to be a Democrat!"

I volunteer at a local Democratic County Headquarters office in Florida. I was there by myself today and opened the mail. We received the following letter, neatly printed on lined paper...

Feb. 18, 2014
Dear ______ County Democratic Headquarters,

Hi my name is Andrew....I'm 41 yrs. old. I'm proud to be a Democrat! Democrats care about there state and country! They care about the less fortunate people in this country that can't afford medical insurance! My 62 yr. old mother found out a couple of weeks ago she has brain cancer, and she just got Obama Care Ins. that just went into effect Feb. 1st! She just was admitted into the hospital Feb. 2nd! They operated on my mom, and was able to remove the life threatening brain tumor! Before all this happened my mother had no medical Insurance. But affordable Obama Care helped save my mothers life..Thank-God! I'm very thankful! This is why it's good to be a Democrat! Could you please send me any kind of information about ______ County Democratic Party? I would absolutely greatly appreciate it!

Thank-you!
God Bless!
Sincerely,
Andrew C______

Thank you for sharing it.

It's really what president Obama is all about - enabling people to live with dignity. We have a ways to go, but we're off to a strong start.
