Reply #97: Courage

[Liberalynn]

Dear Mrs. Edwards,

Thank you for being here and offering us courage. We will need it in the days, months, and years ahead.

I also am sending positive healing thoughts your way in the battle you face.

Once the election was called, I felt such despair. I wasn't sure what to do or what to think or even whether to go on at all or not. Then I remembered the courage Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton showed in the face of all opposition. Sadly Susan did not live to see what she accomplished but millions of us owe her a debt of gratitude and now it is our time to pay interest on it by helping to voice her ideals. We cannot now or ever give up on them. While compromise can sometimes be valuable there are some things that should never be compromised away, one of them is equal rights for all.

I hope the Democrat party will remember that too and continue to follow in the courageous footsteps of those like Anthony and King, it may not make us popular but it will make us patriots in the truest sense of the word.
