Yes, Ms. Oberlander, I am angry. When people in Washington, D.C., entice citizens with free health care, free housing, free food, free education, free this, free that, it makes me angry. You see it as caring, I see it as soul robbing. You believe in government, I believe in people. You believe in gevernment, I believe in hard work and freedom to follow my dreams. You believe in government, I believe in neighbors, friends, family and God. It is so telling that you assume my life is easy - it's not. I am not the evil, rich republican you have characterized me as. I am a single mother with two jobs. I don't get child support, alimony or any government handouts. Because I make my own way I know others can. People, believe in yourselves, You can make your life extraordinary - it may not be easy but I promise you, it will be worth it.Also, I would like to thank all the people who called me stating their support. Bless you.
