YES, Hillary!!!YES, Elizabeth Cady-Stanton, Susan B. Anthony,Thomas Jefferson, James Madison . . . and . . . even . . . John Locke!!!     

There are so many of us out here who support you, though - despite our, relatively speaking, 'professional incomes' (e.g., Registered Nurses, college educators, so forth) - have not thus far been able to financially contribute to your efforts.  Hence, more than a few of us (the latter that is) opted to instead contribute on 'another plane.'  This would include sending lots of profound and intense and utterly sincere 'spiritual energy' your way (no matter the affiliation, or - as in my own case, non-affiliation with any organized religion).  More specifically, we out here have been lighting candles, burning incense, meditating on your success, and so forth.   

Hence - from my microcosmic perspective - not all is about money.  Sometimes, there are other greater-than-human-forces (e.g., divine forces) at work . . . balancing the scales and exacting karma. Hence too - from my own microcosmic perspective - you DEFINITELY deserved blessings in the realm of karma.    

While I am in fact quite an egalitarian in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and so forth, I must admit that the notion of a woman - ALAS!!! - being Commander-in-Chief of this 'potentially' great United States of America is analogous to an EPIPHANY!  Being now 53 and being too with a Bachelors in History (despite having generated my income as a Registered Nurse for the past twenty-five years), I know all too well how very hard the struggle has been for women to get to this point.  This ought in no way be construed to mean that the African-American struggle has had its own horrors and challenges.    

Nonetheless, after months of paying utmost attention to almost every single debate, I clearly have come to the conclusion that you - Hillary-Rodham Clinton – are the most qualified to restore those ideals and values which so many (Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, others) envisioned.  May we realize their visions, which seem to be synchronous with your own visions.  May you self-actualize as a being and may you realize those ideas/ideals set forth by our ancestors for the sake of ‘posterity’ (a concept that the self-interests of the Bush Administration – per Madison’s Federalist Number 10 and more) never could grasp).    

Finally, on a not so unimportant note . . . it is not at all that incomprehensible to me why you voted the way you did before Bush, Cheney, and all their dark/evil incarnate cronies propagandized us into the Iraq nightmare. Their actions at that time were PRECISELY what Jefferson, Madison, and John Locke feared the most. Ideally, one would like to trust the word of their 'leaders.'  In reality, leaders lie and lose track of ‘higher’ ideals.  Only in retrospect is one able to differentiate.    

Again, I am UTTERLY DELIGHTED for your wins tonight.  Subsequently, I am thinking that all those candles, all that incense, plus the deep meditation and focus on the spiritual plane ECLIPSED the money factor.  May we all keep that in mind in the months to come.  You are a strong, incredibly intelligent woman/person/being.  I thank you for that; and my guess is that, were Cady-Stanton and Susan B. to rise from their graves, they indeed would thank you too!!! Sincerely,
