I kept telling little sis she was too smart and too nice a person to support Romney. Had many a conversation with her, sent her e-mails, sent her pro-Obama material on Facebook and thought I was getting nowhere. One day, out of the blue, she asked if I could get her an "Obama 2012" magnet or sticker for her car. I was a little shocked but oh so happy! The RW slamming of Sandra Fluke was the last straw for her. She's a Catholic but she believes in birth control/choice and she was very impressed with the way President Obama stood up for Ms. Fluke. Her "Reagan Republican" husband is still a bit stunned but I am thrilled to have my sister on our side!!!
