If you love Michelle Obama, hold her in your thoughts this month.

[grasswire]

The hate that is being directed toward her from the right, and the insults (racial and gender) must be met with an equal or greater amount of support and love from decent Americans.

May I suggest that you take a moment, and a postage stamp, and write her a paper letter this week? If you can't find words of support, then just send a "thinking of you" card.

I think it would mean a lot to be deluged with tangible love and support from all of us.

You know the address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. That is a great idea...

Thank you for not only thinking it, but for putting it out here for us.

[grasswire]

3. I pray that she isn't looking at the Internet.

I don't even dare to copy over here the ugly stuff that is everywhere. Including open talk of assassination.

The courage it takes to be the center of this maelstorm is something we should appreciate.

[siligut]

2. A deluge of cards would be supportive

I hold her in my thoughts often, she is a wonderful and amazing woman. I think cards would be sweet, with just a short message of support. I think that she is so busy, that while she would appreciate letters, she wouldn't have the time to read them.

[juajen]

44. A post card from your state would be a good idea.

I am forever sending good thoughts their way, hoping it will protect his whole administration from the insane.

[formercia]

4. Michelle is such a good person

It just shows how despicable these poor excuse for Human Being are.

[mdavies013]

5. Had to respond to my TeaPublican uncle that posted her as the wicked witch...truely shameful.

There is no low that they won't sink to.

[Cha]

7. that is so pathetic how

brainwashed with Hate they are.

[Sedona]

6. Done K&R

Mrs. Obama,

Please accept my best wishes and enduring gratitude for sharing your husband with the rest of a grateful nation. It must be difficult being on the receiving end of the hate and insults directed toward you and your family and I just want you to balance all that with a little love and appreciation.

Many blessing on you and your beautiful family.


1600 Pennsylvania Ave NWWashington, DC 20006

[Blue Idaho]

8. Really Beautiful! nt.

[Cha]

9. Sweet, Sedona! Maybe I'll just send her a postcard

from Kaua'i..with a message of support.

Thanks to you grasswire for the idea!

P.S. I have not seen any hate for her but I don't get out much other than DU, the obama diary, politicusUSA, ThinkProgress, ect, ect, ect..

[marions ghost]

25. Nice

[freshwest]

33. Okay, so there is no title? Not like letters to Senators, etc. You know, the Honorable, etc?

I didn't know if I needed to say,

DearFirst Lady Michelle Obama, etc.

Or address it to her in the top part as,

First Lady of the United States,
1600 Pennsylania Avenue, etc.

[glowing]

10. Or send a postcard from your "neck of the woods"

That gives her a pretty picture/ collage from around America that shows her live from every nook and cranny. It would be a neat collection to have for sure.

[JDPriestly]

11. I bought a huge, very beautiful pin with a picture of Michelle, First Lady on it.

She is wonderful!

[Sedona]

12. We can post on her facebook page too

But I think the snail mail will make more of an impact.

45. It will also help our beloved Post Offices and mailpersons.

13. Lesson from The First Lady from recent Oprah interview

On not sweating the small stuff:

Michelle Obama: I might want to talk to him about an issue I have with what he said the other day, but you know what, it’s not really that important. I’m stockpiling a list of issues that I’d like to discuss with him in 2016 though.

[Lucky Luciano]

14. Is there an unusual attack on her from the teafreak right now?

[grasswire]

23. there is something that made me write this, yes

It's from a woman named Liz Barnhardt who posts at freerepublic. I'm not going to link there. Anyone wanting more of this filth can go find her with a little footwork.

I'm not psychic. I'm not a prophet. I don't hear voices. I simply am NOT STUPID, I have read history, and I have the stones to acknowledge obvious, objective reality. How anyone could NOT see all of this stuff coming is completely beyond me. You can see all of these things coming miles and miles away.

And by the way, this applies to my fears about Obama being assassinated. Seriously, how stupid and balless do you have to be in order to honestly argue and believe that COMMUNISTS are not capable of killing anyone? How stupid and balless do you have to be to convince yourself that COMMUNISTS, who murdered AT MINIMUM 250 million people in the 20th century alone, would be incapable of murdering a dim-witted, drug addicted homosexual puppet in order to completely overthrow and cement power over the largest economy and largest military force the world has ever seen? IF Obama is false-flag assassinated, there won't be any "chain of succession" issues. Joe Biden will never, ever be POTUS, no matter what. If Obama is false-flag assassinated the Constitution will be suspended, a "provisional government" will be announced and martial law declared.

I shouldn't be surprised by the abject and complete ignorance of history - even recent 20th century history, the normalcy bias and tunnel vision anymore, but I still am. I am worried that Obama will be taken out by his own people for exactly the same reason that I called this phoney-baloney unemployment crap months and months ago - because it is ALL SO INCREDIBLY PREDICTABLE, and the populace is too stupid and deluded to even see how predictable it all is.

.............

Now I hope you can understand why we need to express our love to this family.

[dmr]

27. Oh, geeez, that is crazy. What the hell is this talk of a

dim-witted, drug addicted homosexual puppet in order to completely overthrow and cement power over the largest economy and largest military force the world has ever seen?

What is that all about?

WTF?

[grasswire]

28. that's what they think of our president

dim witted

homosexual (used as a slur)

drug addicted

and he's going to blow up the world with his stupidity. And his own people are going to pull a false flag on him.

Now you see why I asked for concern for his wife.

[Maraya1969]

31. That woman is bat crap crazy. I don't think Michelle Obama would give her one minute of attention.

I don't think we should either.

Edit to add: I think sending nice post cards is always a good thing to do though.

[TahitiNut]

40. Preemptive blame-shifting.

Bottom-feeding maggots.

17. Here's mine:

Dear Mrs. Obama:

Ever since we were introduced to your family, I have been a huge fan. I’m so proud of the American people who elected your husband and we got you as a wonderful bonus as the First Lady. You are respected and loved by so many. I’m also aware of the fact that you all are targets of the great American hate machine. It seems that what you have taken on is far beyond the line of duty. Your grace under the ugliest fire imaginable in this democracy is an inspiration. If you can take and overcome such constant attacks from very powerful people, then myself and others down among the “47%” can take derision from Mr. Romney.

I worked hard in 2008 to get you there. I’m doing what I can (even though my paychecks have decreased markedly) to contribute to the re-election of the President. We are also facing horrible attacks on prevailing wage and public workers in our home town, so much of my time is spent on a cause that didn’t exist in 2008. I hope the advisers around you are aware of how thinly we are stretched trying to protect ourselves from the GOP of hate and division in our community.

I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your willingness to serve the country and do it with such humor and grace. I suspect the humor is absolutely essential. It’s a wonderful trait and one that doesn’t get enough credit.

The very best of luck to you and your family. And to us all!

[mnhtnbb]

21. Gosh, what a nice letter! Hope she sees it.

[Aldo Leopold]

18. What is going on? What bullshit now?

The crap this poor woman has endured, and yet such poise.

[grasswire]

24. see my post #23 nt

[Liberalynn]

19. Thank you for reminding us.

She is a wonderful first lady.

[southernyankeebelle]

20. Yes, its 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20500 The full address

I wrote my card today and put in the mail box for tommorrow. Your right. We all need to let them know not to listen to the right wing hate talk.

[Tsiyu]

46. You are a good person

Hope you are not too cold over there on the other side of the mountain.

K&R this thread for Michelle and the Obama family

[Digit]

22. Michelle really is an amazing person

I admire her so much and we are lucky to have someone like her as our First Lady.
She is the real deal, smart, beautiful, wise, kind, funny, loving, humble, genuine, full of grace and a true leader.

Everybody loves her and any attacks on her will not make people happy.

She and her husband have my full respect, admiration and support.

[rhett o rick]

26. I am in. I suggest sending postcards so your message of love can be seen by others. nm

[grasswire]

29. good idea too

whatever we can do. Cards, letters, postcards are a nice, old-fashioned and polite and tangible way to send her light and love.

[Skittles]

30. I am a huge admirer of Michelle Obama

and I haven't been partisan with the First Gals - I very much admired Betty Ford too

[tavalon]

37. Hard not to like a woman so brave and honest

Be it Michelle Obama or Betty Ford.

[Skittles]

39. that is it indeed

I loved Betty because she was so up front with her battles and demons - just loved her for it.....and I admire Michelle for the grace she displays in the never-ending barrage of irrational hatred displayed towards her and her husband and even her daughters by some outright kooks

[hue]

32. OK! K&R!

[Lifelong Protester]

34. I like this idea and will send a card.

She makes me proud of our country.

[hrmjustin]

35. She is in my thoughts and prayers.

[tavalon]

36. That's a great idea

Obama is the one who put himself out for this crap (not that he deserves that). She's a strong woman but what she is getting from the right is wrong.

[The Wizard]

38. Normal people support

The First Family.

[roody]

41. Ok. I have some postcards.

[Kath1]

42. That is an excellent idea!

The level of hate directed toward her is disgusting to me. I will definitely be sending her a letter of support. I will make a point of thanking her for her unwavering stand for women's rights and health care.

“Make sure that you tell people that your president believes that women should be able to make our own choices about our healthcare.” - Michelle Obama

Thank you, Michelle! We love you!

[midnight]

43. K&R

[macisme]

47. What a beautiful family!

Michelle deserves a lot of credit for that. She is a wonderful wife and mother!

[maddiemom]

48. Bill and Hillary had it bad while in office.

The general respect they have now makes it pretty obvious from where that hate was directed when it would hurt while in office. Add race and the Obamas have much more to contend with. The truly crazy right wing extremists take ever more advantage within the "free speech" security of this nation. Arguably they've tipped over the line into treason. Many of our congress people have already crossed that line if we were to be more honest.

[grasswire]

51. Bill and Hillary DID have it very hard.

It was disgusting then. But as I monitored freerepublic in those years, I didn't see the talk of violence against them that is rampant now against Obama.

I can't imagine what it is like for Michelle to live with that in the back of her mind day in and day out. She must feel under siege.

[goclark]

49. just put the stamp on it!

added a donation....love her!
