I was born in Kansas to a Republican elected Sheriff and a beautiful, hard-working and giving Republican wife. At very young ages, they realized that they had liberal hearts. They left Kansas and headed to Colorado in the early 60's and were lifelong liberals. They raised me to help my neighbor and to look to the political process for putting into place the laws that would govern our lives. I am a self-described bleeding heart liberal. I went to law school and found myself a liberal husband and raised two liberal hard-working kids with kind hearts and big dreams. I, too, have big dreams.
