In the 2008 Presidential Campaign Vicki was a cofounder of Operation Kitchen Cabinet and the Capitol Wive's Speakers Bureau. She campaigned in KS, SD and IA, CO and VA. One of her favorite memories of campaign '08 is speaking to pro-life activists at the Susan B Anthony Spring Tea in the home of Judge Bork.
