Hello. I’m Cathy McMorris Rodgers.
Can you say that? Good for you!
What an honor it is for me to speak with all of you after hearing a godless heathen and his plans for America.
What are our plans for America, you ask?
Well let me tell you…
I grew up working at my family’s orchard and fruit stand in Kettle Falls, a small town in Eastern Washington — getting up before dawn with my brother to pick apples.
My dad drove a school bus and my mom worked as a part-time bookkeeper.
They taught me to work hard, help others, and always, always dream for more.
So, when I showed my 4H animals at the county fair, my parents used to say to me, “Cathy, you need to save this money so you can go to college one day!”
So I did — I saved, I worked hard, and I became the first in my family to graduate from college.
I think that speaks for itself, and is why we all should say a prayer for a better America.
The President talks a lot about income inequality.
But the real gap we face today is one of opportunity inequality…
What is our solution?
Well let me tell you…

We offer real answers. And ask real questions.
Questions that affect you and your family, and answers that we never get around to.
I’m sure that all of you understand that.
Years from now our children will say that we rebuilt the American Dream. Unless of course there is the Apocalypse brought on by the Liberals.
Now it looks like it’s way past a lot of your bedtimes, so I will conclude with a story my parents told me when I was young.

God Bless the United States of America, and God rain down hellfire on the President and his Obamacare.
Nighty-night!
