Today Arlen Specter a long time republican senator from Pennsylvania made the move to the Democratic Party. Welcome to the party Senator Specter we are very happy and honored to have you. I hope you will take the time to review some of your more conservative stands in the near future. When you work with other democrats maybe you can come up with a middle ground that is better then either side could find in the past. There is nothing wrong with looking at an issue from all sides to find different points of view and maybe come up with new unthought-of solutions to past problems.
As Senator Specter said it is all about the voting public and no one party has the corner on right approaches when it comes to issues that are difficult to solve. The problem with the current Republican Party is that they don’t want to help fix the problems. They want to stop all progress and live in a past that has harmed the voting public on Main Street. We must be willing to encourage our representatives to take bold actions to help our country shine as it once did and can again.
The Democratic Party is becoming a party of people who put the welfare of the voting public first and politics as usual in the past. For democrats who question why Senator Specter choose to switch parties let’s give him a chance to prove that he did it for all of the right reasons.
Let’s hope that in the future more moderate republicans feel the need to review their views and make a stand to support the voting public rather then the party of no progress for the future.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
