She Persevered!

anyone watching Lawrence? He just ran the commercial put out by Amy McGrath. In one part, she was talking about how her mother, in spite of naysayers who said she couldn't do it, worked hard and was one of the first women to graduate from medical school in Kentucky. Any said "She persevered."

Lt col. McGrath is my kind of candidate.

She wrote to her U.S. Representative and to her Senator. Got a litter from her Rep saying they didn't allow women to fly in combat. Then she says, "I never got a response from Sen. McConnell'.

Damn, she is one district south of me, so I won't be able to vote for her. But any political donation funds I can scrape up in the next year or so will be going to her!

How do other residents there feel?

Lawrence's show tonight was fantastic. I am so glad he didn't spend time on another distraction named Stephen Miller.

She also said her Mother, despite being crippled by polio, went on to become a Physician. I'll be supporting Amy full bore.
