Y'know, I've no idea what happened, and I usually try to steer way clear of anyone's politics, too, but I've always ever seen you act on the up-and-up with pride and integrity. You seem to be a no-nonsense kinda gal, which I greatly admire, and I'd hate to see you leave.
Like most things, this will pass, and we'll all - you will - be the stronger for it. Whatever doesn't kill you will.. well.. at least it won't kill you. :)
