It was September 3rd, 1991 when I first saw the statue of liberty. I wondered whether I had made the right choice to leave my family behind and migrate to the USA. Governor Palin's speech marked my 17th anniversary as an immigrant and made me proud to identify myself as 'an american' both 'in good times and in bad times'. I have not felt this kind of pride since I became an american and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Governor's speech has something real for every american family and something to make them proud.
- For americans who are worried about their young sons going into Iraq, Palin reminded them that McCain was the only man they should trust to bring their children back home with honor and dignity.
- For americans who wonder whether they can go up the ladder of success in public service without marrying into a wealthy family or going into debt to earn an Ivy League degree, she reminded us it can get done with smiles and good cheer from our family members(i.e. PTA Mom, City Council Woman, Mayor, Governor, and soon to be Vice President).
- For americans who have special needs children and want to make this country a 'more welcoming place' then 'you have an advocate in the whitehouse'.
- For americans who wonder whether it's possible for a woman to be a strong effective leader and yet be comfortable in her femininity and role as a mother and wife, they saw the real deal yesterday.
- For americans who want to shake up washington and bring an everyday american to the executive branch, they can judge Governor Palin by her decision to 'sell a private jet on ebay and fire a chef' because it's 'over the top' for tax payers to fund them. This is exactly how the wasteful spending will end in washington, by electing leaders like Governor Palin. It is as real as it gets!
- For americans who wonder whether anyone will draw attention to Obama's lack of accomplishments and snobbery for the small town americans who are the back bone of our economy and military, they got their answer last night.
My fellow americans, in a McCain-Palin administration we will preserve our american dignity and pride because we will have two americans who have 'always' been proud of this country. One who is an expert on foreign policy, and one who knows how to manage domestic issues for the everyday american e.g., find solutions to energy independence.
The choice has been made clear this election, one team of two people who have executive experience and one team with two people who have never made any executive decision their entire life. The rheteric is fading into the reality of Governor Palin's life story. Governor Palin has changed the converstaion of this race to become about trust for our leaders and trust of the american people (i.e. small town americans), and not about the Bush administration.
The world will see america at it's best with a McCain-Palin ticket. And as Biden expessed today 'she is impressive!'. This is the type of leader Americans can be proud to call Madame Vice President! And when the lights are turned off, we will all agree with Governor Palin that 'the presidency is not a personal discovery journey' and we need a man who uses 'his career to make change' not one who 'uses change to make a career'. We can all agree that 'small town americans' are not angry, bitter or frustrated because as Governor Sarah has demonstrated 'she is small town gal who loves her family, faith and country!'.
Let's give the world a leader who makes us proud to be american instead of a leader who makes us apologetic to be american. Let american pride reign from sea to shinning sea by giving McCain and Palin the opportunity to represent we the people with pride and dignity at home and abroad 'in good times and in bad times'. Let us pick the team whose combined executive experience will bring reform to washington and keep us safe. Let us show courage and not fear being called racist because we decided to elect the McCain-Palin ticket. Let freedom reign and God Bless America!
