As many of you have heard, Geraldine Ferraro passed away this morning
at the age of 75 from blood cancer. As a young woman, I have always
admired Mrs. Ferraro because she did so much for women and helped to
shatter a glass ceiling that at one time seemed unbreakable. Unlike many
other Democrats, Mrs. Ferraro was unafraid to stand up and speak out
against her own party, which made me respect her even more. I will never
forget watching her on Fox News shortly after Sarah Palin was announced
as John McCain’s running mate. As a woman, she was so proud at the
possibility of a woman holding the second-highest office in the land.
Although she and Sarah disagreed on many, many issues, and Ferraro
supported President Obama during the 2008 election, she looked past
these differences, which speaks to her integrity, wisdom and strength of
character.

As a young woman, I always will be grateful for Mrs. Ferraro’s service
and the sacrifice she made for her country. She forever will be a role
model to me for everything she represented. Although she is no longer
physically with us, her fight for women and her love of country will
live on! Thank you, Geraldine, for everything you did for women like me!
Thank you for defending women, regardless of party, and for never
foundering in your mission for the advancement of women in politics and
beyond! Thank you for your sacrifice and your steadfast, unwavering love
for America!!! You will forever be missed!!!

I leave you with one of my favorite television clips of Geraldine
