Many of you are sharing real live stories about what you are going through with your families, so I thought I'd share mine. Although this is from just one person, there are many like this in my family, they have just chosen not to make an issue out of our political differences.

This is the text of e-mail I received today from my uncle. I'm sure many of you have family members that sound a lot like this...


It grieves me deeply to see my niece so nieve as to buy into Obama's BS.  However I am proud to say that I am going to cancel your vote.  This is the same Obama that while attending a function with Hillary and other liberals stood with his hand over his crotch during the playing of the national anthem while all others including Hillary had their hands over their hearts.  A total slap in the face at all veterans such as myself.  I saw this with my own eyes.  This is also the same Obama that had the american flag removed from the tail of his plane and replaced it with that muslim logo.  I don't know where you got your info about his student loans unless it was from his book.  A muslum communist with the help of the prince of Saudi Arabia financed his education and I don't doubt that they fully expect something in return.  When Bill O'Reilly asked Obama why he shunned the national anthem he stated that although it is a beautiful tune it mentioned bombs bursting in air and that is not appropriate.  And this is the man you want for commander in chief.  He may may make it in spite of all our efforts to defeat him but the whole country will pay for it.  The French and Germans want him to be our president.  I guess they want us to be just like them (heaven forbid).I will be praying for his defeat.  You received this from a flag waveing Marine patriot who loves his country .  I will await the revelution that is sure to follow in acouple of years if Obama is elected.  The blacks already plan a riot if he is not. I am now purchasing all the ammunition that I can store.  Have a nice day but I hope you lose.

As a "blue state" girl I didn't think I'd ever have the opportunity to see Sen. Obama in actual real live person. But, he was in Reno last weekend, so we got up at 3 am and made the trek over there. We arrived at 6 am, gates opened at 7:30, then we stood like sardines until he arrived at 10. We met a lot of great people! We are surrounded by Republicans in our daily life and it was just amazing to be in the company of like-minded people. The diversity was incredible. Just within our reach were blacks, whites, latinos and Native Americans.

The rally was so organized, even though it was a last minute event. Security was tight (thankfully!) The weather was perfect. I almost couldn't breathe I was so excited!

When he walked into the stadium the place erupted! In an open stadium you could feel the oxygen get sucked out of the air. He shook a few hands before taking the stage, then proceeded to give an inspiring speech. Part way through the electricity went off, so he walked around and visited for a few minutes before it came back on, joked about UNR not being able to pay their electricity bill either!  He finished up, left the stage, then started the handshaking all around the front of the stage.

As you can see by the photos we were very close, and were actually able to shake his hand. I know...he's just a man, not a celebrity, but for that one moment I was 13 and he was Paul McCartney. I'd wanted to say something memorable to him, but not a word would come out.

As we left the stadium, my husband, a big burly guy not prone to a lot of sentimentality said, "Not counting the birth of our kids and grandkids, this is one of the top 5 best days of my life." I just cried.
