Dear Mitt,

*credit dialy beast

You don't know me.
I've never lived in your state,
gone to the schools you've gone to,
my kids don't know your kids,
in short,
our paths have never crossed
in person.

But still,
I voted for you.

I didn't vote in the 2008 election because
I didn't believe in McCain and I didn't know Obama.
So I didn't vote.
I know Obama now.

Since I didn't vote in 2008,
I couldn't complain about how the country was being led.
I didn't have that right.
But I have certainly suffered for it.
So I decided to be a better American Mother this election year
and study up on you.
What I learned compelled me to join your cause.
I wanted to make a difference with you.
I believe in your vision of a strong America.
Like you,
I felt the stakes were too high to be silent,
or ambivalent.

I took my little "voting stone" and tossed it into the
turbulent political sea for you.
It didn't make much of a splash,
but it's still there, ok.

I voted for you.
And I would vote for you again.
Thank you for stepping up and working so hard.
Thank you for taking hits and being dragged thru the mud
for your love of America.
Thank you for being a better citizen than most;
for putting your life on hold to do good and be good.
You gave all that you could and more than I probably will ever know.
May Father in Heaven bless you for the sacrifices you have made,
your family has made,
in the cause of Right.
You fought well.
And I am proud to say:
I voted for Mitt.

Sincerely,
A Mother in America
