The progressive wing of the Democratic Party is working hard to seat honest democratic candidates who strongly support open and transparent government both at the state and federal level. Our federal candidates have always strongly supported open government and have often lead the way when it comes to supporting bills that would make government more responsive to the voting public. New progressive elected officials in our state government worked hard to put forth bills that would open the state government so that the public could see how our laws were developed during the 60 day session. Our current Attorney General Gary King is also working hard to investigate any suggestion of scandal which might come from the more shady side of state government which has yet to be opened up to public view. He has shown a willingness to investigate individuals no matter which party they represent.
We have some very good elected official in this state who have serve their communities very well for many years and they deserve to be treated fairly by the press when it comes to their public image so it would be unfair, dishonest and completely untrue to say that because a few well known democratic elected officials have be found guilty as of late that all democrats in this state are dishonest or corrupt.
We all know that the Republican Party will paint with a broad bush this new scandal in as dark a light as they possibly can for their own benefit but we also know that their party has little room to be casting stones at our party considering the past history of their own federal and state candidates and elected officials.
The voting public should continue to push for more reform at the state and federal level so as to deal with any culture of corruption that may have slipped into our government. Our federal representatives are clearly open and honest and we are more than a little lucky to have them serving the voting public of this state now and in the future. Everyone in this state should give each case a fair hearing before they destroy a person’s whole life over allegation of wrong doing.

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."
