I wrote her an impassioned letter describing my own experience, and have called numerous times. Like everyone else I was worried she'd gone to the dark side on this. Crying right now.

Either way, very gratifying that she listened and stood up against the rest of her party.

Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make a difference!
