and thank you for your vigorous defense of the BEST Dem. Presidential Candidate, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, of New York. It has been quite hard for me to remain neutral during all of this unfortunate business these past few months & I am grateful to this site for giving me a "safe" venue where I may express my true thoughts. Of course, as a woman near to Sen. Clinton's age and life experience, who is so honored to serve as the FIRST female Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, as well as a long-experienced politician and legislator myself, of course, I support Senator Clinton. It is just not proper or expected that I might do so, publicly and officially. She has my support, 100 %, as well as the support of my family. We all will vote for her in November, given the opportunity. Please trust me on that.

"Thank you for your support."

The Speaker
