A New Day

I am physically and mentally exhausted. But for all the bad news federally, there are some very sweet victories here locally and in the state.

Grundy County, our campaign territory, went Republican this election for the first time in history. Our people finally voted their convictions, Obama's Democratic Party is definitely not their Democratic party. There is hope!

In our state elections, we will no longer be under the thug rule of Jimmy Naifeh. Yes folks, it is a brand new day in state legislation. Our fearless leader in the Senate, Lt.Governor Ron Ramsey, now has a secure 5 seat majority and we will now have a new SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE in the now REPUBLICAN majority House...only the second time since the beginning history of our state (the first was a two year stint 1968-70)!! Go Jason Mumpower!!

As a person who spends a great deal of time shaking her head at the insanity of Jimmy Naifeh, I can't tell you what this means for Tennesseans. Finally, some logical legislation and hopefully, a lot of REPEALING of bad laws already on the books. The good guys will finally have their day!

So here in my little neck of the woods, I will cling to my guns and my Bible and prepare for the next election. I think the KoolAid will wear off and people will finally get what they ask for...and really not like it. That is when we will be ready. We have some awesome people on the home team. It really has been a great election year all in all.
