I have a new hero and Hailey is her name! Thanks for having the courage to say what you did. According to the pollsters, at least 37% of all Oklahomans voted for Obama and I suspect each of us can relate to the treatment you've described by the neocons around us--at least I can. I love Oklahoma; but, I'm embarrassed at the representation we have at the state and national levels that demonize anything that isn't the least bit WASP. The television advertisements that I saw during the election were filled with lies, half-truths and insane generalizations that were calculated to create a climate of hatred and fear. For a state that is known for having a church on every corner, I am amazed at the vitriol that spewed forth. There is much work to do.
