An open letter to Senator Hillary Clinton

Dear Senator Clinton,

Today is a big day for you. It is your opportunity to remind us all what a great leader you are. As you prepare for the debate tonight, I wanted to give you these words of support:

They may say his words are inspiring, but never forget that YOU are inspiring to many.

He may be young and eloquent; YOU are strong, courageous and right.

You are true grace under fire.

You do not need to stoop down, but merely show your immense knowledge.

Remember that you are the more experienced and well versed in the problems facing this country and the needed solutions.

Remember you are a mother, and mothers are inherent leaders – show them who’s the boss.

When the attacks start, you don’t have to stoop so low, you just need to respond and dismiss the attacks, as any mom would do dealing with an unruly kid on the playground.

When they try to put you in a corner, remember you own that corner, and every corner in the room. You are our future commander in chief.

We have watched you take the hits and the name-calling – even towards your daughter – yet you stand strong with such grace. Remind yourself of the magnificent daughter you raised – in the worldwide spotlight. That is, in itself, enough of an accomplishment to be proud of. We are so very proud of you.

Be proud of this very moment you are experiencing. Take it all in. You deserve to be there. You have earned your right to be there. You have always done right by those that needed you the most.

Remember how you felt at your last debate in Los Angeles. You highlighted your differences without getting in the mud. You showed us your humor and light-heartedness to criticism. At your best, yes you were. And at your best, And at your best, you were undeniably showing us the next leader of the free world.

Pull those positive energies in for today. We will be sending positive energies your way too. We are rooting for you – not because we don’t like the other guy – but because we believe you are the right person for the job.

You know what to do. Moms always know best.

And finally, don’t think of tonight as the “last stand” or last desperate attempt for you to stay in the game as many have insisted. Remind yourself that this is just a stepping-stone to reach out to the American people and show them who you really are – not what the media tells them to believe. When you do that, today will become a stepping-stone to becoming our next commander in chief.

You are an inspiration. Now get out there and break that glass ceiling!

God Bless and Good Luck.
