The Mad Rants of an Unconventional Soccer Mom

After watching four days of the vitriol and spitefulness that was the Republican Convention I am more energized to fight for what I believe in. We must keep going and keep pushing back against the negativity that is the Republican Party. They have nothing to offer but lies, fear, and hatred. They cannot be allowed to bully themselves into the White House again. They want us to cower in a corner and vote against our own best interest. But not this time. 

Thank you Hillary for channeling Harriet Tubman and reminding me of how important this fight is and that I can't become discouraged:

This is the story of America. Of women and men who defy the odds and never give up.
How do we give this country back to them?
By following the example of a brave New Yorker, a woman who risked her life to shepherd slaves along the Underground Railroad.
And on that path to freedom, Harriet Tubman had one piece of advice.
If you hear the dogs, keep going.
If you see the torches in the woods, keep going.
If they're shouting after you, keep going.
Don't ever stop. Keep going.
If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.
Even in the darkest of moments, ordinary Americans have found the faith to keep going.
I've seen it in you. I've seen it in our teachers and firefighters, nurses and police officers, small business owners and union workers, the men and women of our military -- you always keep going.
We are Americans. We're not big on quitting.
But remember, before we can keep going, we have to get going by electing Barack Obama president.
