Never Give Up, Never Give Up, Never Give Up - Winston Churchill

I'm writing you from Las Vegas, NV where I just spent all day yesterday walking precincts and getting out the vote on behalf of John McCain/Sarah Palin. Although the media hasn't covered this in national news, there are over 800 volunteers from UT, ID, and CA in support of McCain making phone calls, knocking on doors, and encouraging the crucial state of NV to vote!
You might also not know that Rudy Guiliani was out here for a rally to fire us all up. I have tons of pix that I'll upload once I get home - still here, ready for another day on the campaign. I am so proud to be an American I can't begin to tell you.
One thing that Rudy said that was very encouraging to me personally was, "You will always be able to look back at this weekend with confidence that you did everything you could." or words to that effect.
That's why I'm here. That's what is motivating me and so many others of us. Just realize the media isn't telling you everything and there may be more surprises come election day too.
I leave you with this quote by Winston Churchill, in a speech made October 1941 to the boys at Harrow School, "Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.''
More later.
I have to go now...
Good for you. Hope isn't very brave unless there are obstacles. Then (pardon) hope is joy.
