I am a Democrat because of Socks the Cat.
Okay, theres many other reasons than that, but thats where it started. When youre a seven-year-old kid with a black cat and the new President has a black cat too, thats reason enough to support a political party.
As I grew up, the values I developed of fairness, compassion, equality and economic justice aligned with the Democratic Party, and Ive stayed there since. Ive volunteered for Democrats since age 16 and have worked on their campaigns for the last decade.

(9,967 posts)"True inspiration doesnt come in chanting slogans, waving signs or enjoying a candidates soaring speech. Real inspiration happens in the real lives we change through progress born out of grueling, hard-won fights. I, for one, thought thats why were all in this fight in the first place.
Hillary Clinton has been fighting for children, for women, for working families during my entire life. That is a feature of her candidacy, not a flaw. For all the trials and battles shes been through, shes still the one who can make a real difference.
I look forward to standing in Clintons corner on caucus night. I hope many of you will do the same."

"A beautiful endorsement from the go-to Democratic blog on the Iowa caucuses. The entire thing is worth a read, but some of the key passages-
Hillary Clinton is one of the most successful public servants in America. She has helped expand economic opportunity and rights at home, while improving Americas reputation abroad after the Bush administration. And yet people somehow see her record and promise as a president in a cynical manner.
My question to them is this:
What is not inspiring about a little boy getting the health care coverage he needs thanks to Clintons leadership on the Childrens Health Insurance Program? What is not moving about an Israeli family whos alive today because the ceasefire Clinton negotiated stopped rockets from raining down on their house? What is not stirring about the womens rights movements sparked around the world from Clintons 1995 Beijing speech?
If these things do not inspire you, perhaps you should reconsider why you are interested in politics in the first place."

(1,968 posts)for me as well. Although a young adult at the time, my uncle had a fantastic cat (that I later inherited when he passed away and who was my cat for years).
Around 1993 or so, I got the cat a toy of "Socks the Cat," which remained in his collection for years until he finally disembowled it all over my home office floor.
