Whew! February 2nd wore and bore at me like a greasy lobbyist in an ill-fitting suit! Much ado about nothing though--I'm sure that Shirley Chisholm encountered more than floundering lobbyists and political naysayers campaigning against her campaign for first African-American woman elected to Congress!
Shirley succeeded and went on to eloquently, and some may say, defiantly serve 7 terms! She did it, "Unbossed and Unbought"! She blazed trails and common thought when she deliberately staffed her office with all women--this phenomenal women was truly and inspiration for all. Is it such a surprise that the [supa]natural progression would lead to her running for President? The first African-American woman to do so?!  Catalyst for Change was just one her slogans...hmm, doesn't that have a familiar ring? ;+)
So yeah, it's a little late on this evening, of this second day of February...but would something like that have stopped Shirley? I don't think so! So bid and contribute and be counted.
