Valerie, a woman of courage

Thank you for taking the time to support me in my candidacy.

My journey began with my decision to attend a Feb. 9, 2008 Democratic Precinct Caucus.

As a result, I believe “Change is inevitable . . . it is going to happen!”

As a resident of the 37th Legislative District, I have lived and worked in Seattle for more than 20 years. My son graduated from Roosevelt High School. I have earned a Masters Degree among my many credentials, but what I am most impressed with are Sen. Obama's credentials.

For more than 30 years I have enthusiastically searched for practical ways to help wounded souls heal from various forms of abuse. I am not supporting Sen. Obama to better serve these courageous people who have come into my life. Like Sen. Obama, I have dedicated myself to help identify ways to communicate across cultures and develop listening skills necessary to be attentive to the individual and their story. Also, like Sen. Obama, I learned the importance of "touching one life at a time" and "truly being present."

Today, I seek your vote to stand on that floor and be a part of your nomination for Barack Obama as he is named the Democratic Nominee for President of these United States of America!

I want to stand alongside thousands of others and join in one voice singing out "Yes, we can" with tears streaming down my face because I dared to have the courage to believe that "Change is inevitable...and now it has happened!"

I remain committed and courageous along with you. Thank you.

WHY I AM VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA:

He is honorable
He is dedicated
He is humble
He will not allow anyone to define him
He is a visionary
He heard the call and he answered
He's willing to stand on the wall, in spite of it all

HOW I HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS CAMPAIGN:

Made a decision to get involved
Purchased buttons and distributed to general public
Wore my button proudly and readily engaged in conversation with others as an ambassador of hope and support for Sen. Obama
Traveled to Portland, Ore to participate in the door-to-door canvassing
Attended every caucus meeting once becoming delegate and as an alternate, as well as training sessions
Offered to help wherever and whenever I could
