Bright, young, energetic, and eloquent, Mia Love is our hero of the week. Daughter of Haitian immigrants who planned, worked, and struggled to bring their family to the United States, Mia is living the American dream. She is full of faith and courage, and is undaunted by challenges.
From Reuters: "Love, 36, is a black Mormon in a deeply conservative state where her race makes up less than 3 percent of the population. If she bests the popular, right-of-center Democratic incumbent, Jim Matheson, in November, Love would be the first black, conservative woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, although polls show she faces an uphill battle. ... In 2010, she was the first black woman elected as mayor of a Utah city. She's also a first-generation U.S. citizen whose parents immigrated to New York from Haiti in the 1970s in search of the American dream and who wanted to make sure their daughter contributed to society. Love, a mother of three, says she's running against six-term incumbent Matheson in the newly created 4th District in central Utah to do just that. Matheson represents Utah's 2nd District and opted to run in the 4th after redistricting scattered his constituents."
Mia is a great model for all Patriotic Moms who want to give back to their country. She is also an inspiring example for our kids! We all need more outstanding examples of people who love America and are working to preserve our great legacy of liberty.
There is a little overlap in these videos. That's a good thing. If you watch with your children, they will learn and remember Mia's stories and the powerful principles that will help restore America as a great nation.
View the videos all at once, or watch them one at a time -- whatever works best for you.
The main thing is for us, and our children, to learn from the examples of great people who are making a difference for America.
As we are inspired by the example of others, we realize that we, too, can use our energy, develop our talents and give back to the country that has given us way more than we can ever repay.

Text: "Let me tell you about the America I know. My parents immigrated to the U.S. with ten dollars in their pocket, believing that the America they had heard about really did exist. When times got tough they didn't look to Washington, they looked within. So the America I came to know was centered in personal responsibility and filled with the American dream.
"The America I know is grounded in the determination found in patriots and pioneers, in small business owners with big ideas, in the farmers who work in the beauty of our landscape, in our heroic military and Olympians. It's in every child who looks at the seemingly impossible and says, "I can do that." That is the America I know!
"President Obama's version of America is a divided one -- pitting us against each other based on our income level, gender, and social status. His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago, and no rhetoric, bumper sticker, or campaign ad can change that. Mr. President I am here to tell you we are not buying what you are selling in 2012.
"The American Dream is our story. It is a story of human struggle, standing up and striving for more. It's been told for over 200 years with small steps and giant leaps; from a woman on a bus to a man with a dream; and the bravery of the greatest generation, to the entrepreneurs of today. This is our story. This is the America we know because we built it.
"With Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan we can restore the America we know and love. The world will know it, our children will tell it and our grandchildren will possess it for years to come!
