    I could almost guarantee you, Eastern Kentuckian Marlana VanHoose would not be intimidated, more likely to be even MORE determined to perform.

    My mountain Granny's words have stuck with me, "You can butter me up and talk real nice to me and I'll do just about anything for you, but there ain't nobody gonna MAKE me do nuthin".

    Jennifer Holliday has a conscience and morals. Kudos to her for standing up for what's right.

    For being afraid of death threats? She was willing to go to the inauguration but was afraid for her life. I don't blame her because I wouldn't put it past the left to actually resort to murder in this time of transition of power. They are that hostile.

    She was born in 1995 and is 21 years old. She is very small due to being born with a mild form of cerebral palsy (which is not the cause of her blindness - that was caused by a cytomegalovirus infection which kept the optic nerve from forming properly).
