Some of you know that I have a daughter with muscular dystrophy. She has an overall muscle weakness. She cannot walk, stand and needs help with normal physical activities like dressing, toileting, or transferring to and from her electric wheel chair. In spite of her disabilities she is a wonderful, bright, vocal, relatively self-sufficient, (except financially) 20 year old college student. She is a RIGHT-WING RADICAL political science major at UC Berkeley. At this time she is on the board of directors for the Berkeley College Republicans and has written articles for the conservative CAL Patriot magazine. She wants to be a lobbyist or a political strategist when she graduates. (Maybe work for the NRA!)
She has just been accepted in the UC-DC program. She will go to Washington DC for a semester as an intern. I am not sure how we will pull the whole think off yet, (and I am sure it will cost me a pretty penny) but I am so proud of her that I am about ready to bust with pride. I just wanted to share my joy with my friends at this forum and let you know there still are a few conservative students left in CA.
Thanks for sharing in my joy.
Jerry
