Day 8: A thank-you letter to someone who changed your life

Dear Sarah Palin,

You have no idea who I am. You probably never will. But...you have incredibly influenced my opinion of politics. Basically, pre-2008 I had no interest in our government or its functions. I thought it was all for stuffy old men with only two things in mind: power and money. 

You taught me otherwise.

Before those fateful elections, I didn't have a role model. Someone I looked up to. A favorite celebrity. A hero. Now I do. :)

I don't care how much the liberal media hates you. 

I don't care how much those ultra-modern big city bloggers hate you. 

I don't care how much my father's family hates you. 

...because I. LOVE. YOU. 

You took a stand for life. You shouted out against big government. You cared about morally relevant issues. You remained resilient despite the haters. You're a hardcore country girl. 

You inspire me.

I remember the first time someone told me that I looked like you. It was the proudest moment of my life. :D I vowed never to take off my glasses again!

I probably will never run for President.
(Although I'm not entirely ruling it out as an option!)
Either way, I want to be 

just like you 

when I grow up. <3

Thank you, thank you, a million times thanks!

Your biggest fan from Helotes, Texas,

Andrea Micole :)
