(This is a fantastic testimonial. Hoo-ray for Carol Shea-Porter. - promoted by Dean Barker)
Yup, it's gushing, but I do so admire Carol and what she has managed to do so far, the power of example she is to me, and the things she can continue to do if we all work hard to re-elect her. She is most definitely a woman whose place is in the House!
I have been involved in Carol's campaigns from the start, and between her and Howard Dean, I have a pretty high standard for those in the political system that I truly admire. Carol has never lied to us, or tried to hide what was going on. She has always explained why she was doing what she was doing, she takes a stand for a well-thought out reason and sticks to it. She really truly works for us, the rest of us, without a thought to her own aggrandizement or profit.
She is the bravest person I have ever known, and one of the kindest. She tells you where you are going wrong and leaves you knowing that she likes and respects you. She stands for no nonsense, but has a wonderful sense of humor, which is probably keeping her sane at this point.
I count myself among the luckiest people in the country to have been given the gift of having Carol as my congresswoman. I don't have to wonder why she is taking a position on an issue, I know it is because she has done her homework, and because she hasn't taken money from someone her stand is going to benefit. On occasion I am not as sure as she is about an issue, but I am sure she has a really good reason to think that way, and I always take a second look.
I love her courage, to take on what appeared to be an impossible campaign task, make a plan, stick to it, and win. I will never forget that first win, the absolute joy of actually electing such a good person to Congress, and the first woman from NH! Thank you, Carol, for being you, being my friend, and being there for all the rest of us, in NH and all over the country.
