Anyone who has ever met Senator Tom Udall knows what a hard working and honest elected official he is and how much he cares for the core moral issues of the Democratic Party. Look up public servant in the dictionary and you find a picture of U.S. Senator Tom Udall. Raised in a family who dedicated their lives to public service our senator knows when to support issue like the healthcare reform bill that would give all Americans instead of just the rich much needed medical coverage.
Since he was elected to the senate I have not run across a real democrat who disagrees with his stand on any single issue. Lately Senator Udall has been taking a lot of heat from the far right wing nuts because of his stand on healthcare and the public option. Still the Senator has stood his ground and been a leader for the middle class and the working poor of this state and he has been an outspoken champion for this state. With almost half of all New Mexicans not being able to afford healthcare this is not an issue where you can sit on the fence.
Some people are born to be leaders and others simple are forced into the roll because of what they care for and value most in life. Senator Udall had to be dragged out of congress by supporters but once he was in the senate I am sure that not even he could deny how much we needed his present there to support our issues. Democrats are looking forward to many years of service from Senator Udall in the U.S. Senator for this state. Our Northern Senator should know just how proud we are of all his hard work for this state and the children of this state.

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."
