By now, most of you know I am working for a congressional
campaign, but you might not know why. So here are my Top Ten Reasons Why I Work for Elisabeth Motsinger for Congress:
10. EM is an advocate for education. You know I spent more
than 20 years working in higher education, and I remain passionate about its
ability to transform lives.
9. EM is an environmental activist. I’ve been hugging trees
since before I ever tried to climb one.
8. EM believes in the inherent worth of every single person.
Equality, baby. That’s what it’s all about.
7. EM is a force of nature. It’s true: I watched her breathe
life back into her husband when he was having a stroke. Ask me about it
sometime. I am forever changed because of the experience.
6. EM believes as I do, that every American should have
access to quality healthcare.
5. EM believes that each of us should receive a livable
wage, so that we don’t have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet, and so
that we have time and energy to enjoy recreational activities and engage in our
communities.
4. EM is a person of compassion and integrity. I trust her
explicitly to do what is in the best interest of her constituents.
3. EM is a survivor. She’s been a single mother and a widow.
She returned to college with two small children and completed her physician
assistant training. She’s got grit.
2. EM is a great listener, and a thoughtful decision-maker.
No knee-jerk reactions from this candidate. No toeing the party line. She weighs
all sides of an issue, and truly endeavors to understand positions that differ
from her own inclinations.
And the number 1 reason why I work for Elisabeth Motsinger
for Congress: She WILL win in November!
She won her primary with 70 percent of the vote. She has won “unwinnable” races
for the school board, and she has the strength, the energy, and vision and the
wisdom to defeat Virginia Foxx.
So, if you are still with me, you must have finished reading
the back of the cereal box yesterday. Or it’s a slow day on the Yahoo news
feed. Or you care about me. I know some of you who care about me adhere to
political beliefs that are different from my own, but that’s ok. There is room
in this world for a multitude of viewpoints. But here’s the point (and you knew
this was coming): if you care about me, regardless of your own political
beliefs, I hope you will consider making a donation – any size donation -- to
my candidate. We are running a grassroots campaign against an opponent who is
well-funded by super PACS and corporate interests outside our district. We have
a powerful message, and an enthusiastic team. But we need funding to get our
message out to our voters.

And remember, donations or gifts to Elisabeth Motsinger for
Congress are not tax deductible. But they will help ensure that I keep getting
paid. I’m just sayin …
