GOP member seeks a ‘Hillary’ sticker for mom (Houston Chronicle 12/11/09)

This is so cute, I am posting the whole article.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6766142.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+houstonchronicle%2Fmetro+%28chron.com+-+Houston+%26+Texas%29

An unexpected letter from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the mother of hard-core Republican State Board of Education member David Bradley has him scrambling to find a Democratic "Hillary" bumper sticker.

The pursuit turned urgent after Houstonian Shirley Bradley received a letter from the secretary of state last week expressing delight over a story she read in the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News about the Bradley family.

Shirley Bradley often supports Democratic candidates and issues. Her two oldest sons are GOP politicians. David Bradley is the leader of the social conservatives on the State Board of Education, and John Bradley is the hard-nosed district attorney for Williamson County. Gov. Rick Perry recently named him to head the Texas Forensic Science Commission.

The newspaper story chronicled the family dynamics, with Shirley Bradley opposing the death penalty that her prosecutor son pushes. The story also described her car bumper that features her GOP son's State Board of Education bumper sticker alongside a "Hillary for President" sticker.

Someone recently stole the Hillary bumper sticker.

Bradley's hunt for a new sticker meant doing "some outreach" to folks who are not his political allies.

"Those folks aren't exactly in my playground," he said, laughing.

Shirley Bradley said she initially tossed the unopened Clinton mail into the junk pile because she assumed it was an appeal for money to help one of Houston's mayoral candidates.

Her husband, John Bradley, later opened the letter and told his wife that it was a personal note from Clinton, describing how she "enjoyed reading about your family in the Houston Chronicle" and how she should be proud of her sons' participation in the public square.

"I was terribly surprised. That's a nice follow-up thank you," Shirley Bradley said. "I'll probably frame it."

As far as the missing bumper sticker, she said she was upset at first.

"That's the meanness of some people. I have to let them have that meanness. It's not part of me,” she said. "I'm not going to let somebody else spoil my day."

David Bradley has asked the president of the Houston Federation of Teachers for a new Hillary sticker.

The group supported her presidential campaign last year.

"We're working on it. We're asking staff to go through their political memorabilia file," said Gayle Fallon, head of the teachers' federation.

They've got extra Hillary T-shirts but have not yet found a spare bumper sticker.

I'll never forget it was conservatives and repubs who defended Hillary against many many vicious vile sexist attacks from the america-hating radical left.

After Randi roahes? called hillary a "white whore", it was sean hannity and ann coulter who defended Hillary.

I'll NEVER forget that it was the UNDEMOCRATIC party that skewered Hillary and then moved on to Sarah, and pretended "oh but we are the women's party"...what a load of $hit!

"That's the meanness of some people. I have to let them have that meanness. It's not part of me,” she said.

What a great outlook. Mrs. Bradly sounds like a strong, smart lady. No wonder she's a Hillary supporter. Hillary is so good about details like this. Her sincerity and genuineness shine through. This is such a great story. Thanks for posting.
