jadedmusingsDear Mike Rowe,
I've never let it be a secret that I have a huge crush on you, like so many of your fans. From the fact that you faked your way into the Baltimore Opera to your awesome, funny, and insightful Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs, there aren't many bad things I can say about you. Honestly, I thought there weren't any other reasons for me to love you, but today you went and proved me wrong.
Today you testified before the United States Senate about the importance of skilled labor to our infrastructure. You also used your testimony as a way to promote your new project with Discovery channel, Discover Your Skills, "a new multimedia public affairs campaign designed to address the growing decline in US skilled labor expertise." To top it off, your op-ed piece in Politico is nothing short of fantastic as well as humorous and completely "you" in tone.
As the daughter of a blue collar worker, I appreciate what you're doing and the way you're using your celebrity to improve the world around you. Keep up the good work.
Happy to be writing a positive open letter to a star for once,
Jade
