I reckon she will go down in history as having been a politician who

truly cared about the little folks. She had the first Rainbow base of

support because she was just flat out honest. And she knew people ..

she could win over some who were total opposites .. like Gov. George

Wallace. She got that dude on her side and he pulled together enough

Suthran votes to make a major change in the USA - getting legislation

through to put domestic workers (who had been crapped on since the

birth of the Nation) under the minimum wage law. She was the kind of

politician we really need today.

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch
