Years ago I was proud to have contributed to an upstart young Latina Democrat in one of the most conservative corners of the nation, Orange County California, defeating an incumbent right wing nut case Republican named Bob "B-2" Dornan. I donated to Loretta Sanchez's original campaign where she defeated Dornan, and I contributed to her first re-election which finally convinced Dornan that a hispanic woman Democrat really did defeat him. Now Loretta is solidly established in Congress and I never regretted supporting her. I even supported her sister, Linda Sanchez, when she successfully ran for Congress in another district in California.

This past year may be my most political year yet. I have thus wound up, due to various donations, connections, blogging, etc., wound up receiving dozens of holiday cards from politicians all around the nation. I think Loretta Sanchez's card was my favorite and one of the funniest. Gotta love someone who can break the stuffy mold of Congress:
