Dear GOP, It's over!!

Dear GOP,

Our 30 year relationship is now over! It's been over for a while, but I just didn't want to admit it. Don't worry it's not me, it's YOU!! I'm done with your abuse. I'm done hearing how much you love me every time you need money, someone to canvass, someone to vote for you, but then you turn around and you whine and dine someone else! It's only a take relationship for you, and pretty abusive for me. You went too far this time, and you were complicit in letting the bully abuse me! Yes, he did abuse me! He abused me as a woman when he said who would vote for that face, he abused me when he mocked a candidate's wife's looks, he abused me with 9 tweets including some about being a bimbo and crazy! I had tolerated your mistreatment of me for too many years. So I guess I should thank you as you finally helped me get out of this toxic relationship by bringing the bully into the relationship that actually told me he doesn't need me or want me. At least the truth is out!!

I'm a Christian well-educated white woman, and a conservative from the suburbs. I'm the kind of woman you can't win without me voting for you!! I defended you that you did love women, all the while you were disregarding me. I was told I shouldn't love you as a woman, but I defended you anyway. Now you allowed the bully in that is the caricature of everything they said you were and how you were treating me, and I can finally see the light! They were right that you didn't care about me! You now think women should be punished, you now think women should be forced to serve in military, you now believe men should be in women's bathrooms, you hired the man who owns a strip club, you hired the  man who calls women bimbos, you hired the man who supports rapist, had multiple affairs & wives, and was accused of raping his first wife.

I've given to you, worked hard for you, made phone calls, walked, passed out flyers, put up signs, and shown you nothing but loyalty and love. You've been a taker, and you've not kept your promises. You told me you loved me and wanted me, but now I know it was only to use me to get what you wanted!! I'm done, it's over, we're through!!

Don't call me, don't text me, don't write me, because it's really over!! I'm going to try to find a healthy relationship in another party even if they're not as big and fancy as you. I'll find one that appreciates me! Good bye!

Sincerely,

Independent woman

My First Day in Cleveland

Taking off from Dallas to Cleveland

Had a great morning heading to the airport from Dallas to Cleveland with a beautiful but hot day. I got to the airport waiting for my flight, and heard a familiar voice of a man with a thick accent talking about Proverbs 14 starting in verse 2 saying that we have to know how important these times are....

Proverbs 14King James Version (KJV)14 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

I looked up and it was Rafael Cruz, who is Ted Cruz's father. He was talking to some other women and then they called for our flight so I didn't get to talk to him. We got on the airplane and he was sitting right in front of me and across in the aisle. I was getting settled and heard him talking again about another verse he was quoting from memory in Genesis. He was reading the Bible the whole flight and When we landed I finally told him "Thank you for raising such an amazing man who knows the Constitution and the Bible, and I was sorry we didn't get him as the nominee". He said he was going to continue the fight. I really wanted to get a picture together with him, but it was too crowded and we were all getting off the plane. I know that he probably thought I was a stalker as I tried several times to get close again, but each time he was getting his bags or talking to someone. I also wish I could've just prayed for him.

When I went down to baggage claim there were hundreds of people each stopping me to ask if I needed help or directions. I asked one where the shuttle to get to the hotel was and they gave me directions. I then found where I was to meet my shuttle to the hotel and walking out saw heavy security where there were the big guns that all liberals are scared of. When I was walking out saw quite a few police cars and a K-9 unit. Heavy security at the airport!! It was fun to meet lots of delegates and alternate delegates waiting for my shuttle, and there were a lot from New Mexico. They were all excited to see each other, and there seems to be a real camaraderie among the delegates.

At airport you could see the K-9 unit

I found my shuttle and went to meet my new roomie for the next few days Mary. I met a new friend for the first time at the hotel, and we then talked for several hours. Boy did we have a lot to talk about. We then got information about a strategy meeting for Delegates Unbound where they were having dinner. We met them at a DoubleTree hotel restaurant and met quite a few people with the group. We told them we would help and volunteer in any way that we could. We really enjoyed meeting Josiah who was with the Cruz campaign and I had met him in SC when I was there doing canvassing. 

There were a lot of media people there interviewing the Delegates Unbound coordinators. 

We ate dinner and then headed out to do a live feed on Facebook in front of the convention center. While we were doing the live feed a newscaster for the ABC 5 Eyewitness news in Cleveland asked us for an interview. He heard us say we were with Never Trump and Delegates Unbound. He asked us what we hoped to accomplish and if we thought it would help Hillary. If I find that interview I'll post it for you, but we do have my first FB live feed. 

We saw lots of police presence and tried to thank as many officers as we could. I told them we were praying for their safety this week. Please pray for everyone's safety this week!! We walked around more and then headed back to the hotel as it was a pretty eventful day and Monday holds a lot of things going on as Monday morning was an effort to try to get enough signatures of delegates from 7 states. Information about that strategy is on this website if you click on what's highlighted. 

Stay tuned for more to come later today, and follow me on my Facebook page to get more updates. 

I'm Going to my First Political Convention

Ok, ok...I might not have a ticket to get in but I will be at a lot of the festivities starting Sunday for the GOP Convention. There are 1200 events that go on surrounding the Convention and not just the big Convention speeches. It's pretty much like any other Convention where you have lots of other smaller sessions of speakers, events, and venues going on at the same time. So I'll be one of the people hanging around those. I'll be finding any rallies, pro-life events, 2nd Amendment events, and Cruz events. I'm planning on attending a Cruz event on Wednesday afternoon. I'll be doing some live FB events so be looking for that on my FB page for my blog. 

I really prayed for several weeks about whether I should go. I've had mixed feelings as anyone that knows me should know that I'm a #NeverTrump person, and I don't foresee that changing unless Trump has a lobotomy and I will need to have ample proof of it happening!! You can find several other post on my blog to understand why I'm aptly in the #NeverTrump category. Oh don't worry, I'm just as much #NeverHillary as I don't vote for Hillary or her donors especially ones that give $100K to her corrupt Clinton Foundation. I've been a conservative my whole life since I was even in High School, and I've been a registered Republican that whole time. I have never wavered in voting & donating to candidates even when I've wavered on supporting the party. This might be my first and last Convention as a Republican though, as Trump won't ever represent me as a human. 

Well, now that you know where I stand I will try to bring lots of great, fun, informative, and enlightening information to you about the Convention as possible with as minimal bias as I can muster. I'm already doing better than MSM as I at least have told you upfront of my bias. You may wonder what brought me to this adventure? I was really praying about it and really thought we didn't have the provision for it right now. I really started praying that either God would put it out of my mind or would show me that He wants me to go. 

A couple of days ago another lady posted in a group that supported Ted Cruz that they would share a hotel room with another like-minded woman for free. Then a post came up just a few minutes later on my memories when I went to Austin to stand with pro-lifers for the HB2 bill, where I had given a detail account of everything that happened. One of my friends replied that I should be a reporter as my account of it felt like she was there. I felt like that is what God was calling me to do at the Convention, and it was a confirmation for me seeing that pop up at that very minute. 

I began praying about even asking my husband as I know he's the kind that needs to know all the details before he says yes. I tried to research as much as I could about who she was, where the hotel was, etc. Then I asked him if it was a good time to talk about something. This is key ladies as he has to be in the right mindset. I knew that it would depend on if we had enough frequent flyer miles, and other provision. So I just accepted that if that was not available it wouldn't be God's plan. Well, he said we had enough and he just wanted a little bit more information from the lady (Mary) about what her plans were, etc. Everything just fell into place as there was enough frequent flyer miles, provision in my account, his Dad said he wanted to help, and provision of the hotel. WOW, I love when we just release it to God and He always works it out for our good. 

So I'll be reporting as your eyes and ears at the Convention. My goal is to always bring glory and honor to God, get to share in a historical event, meet lots of wonderful new friends, and share as much as I can about all the activities of the Convention with all those who follow this blog! Here we go....
