The People Have Spoken
January 19, 2010
As I sit here watching the results of the Massachusetts special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Ted Kennedy, I couldn’t help but reflect on a few things:
It could be said that the initial concept of this country was founded in Massachusetts.
As we all know, this concept eventually led to our current form of government. One of the ideals of this new type of government was the “balance of power” between the Executive Branch, the Judicial Branch and the Judicial Branch.
It would appear that the good people of Massachusetts viewed the current situation as I do, that the abuses of the current administration and Congress were “out of balance” and true balance was desperately needed if this country was going to survive.
I have said for many years that I feared another revolution may be needed to return our government to what Abraham Lincoln described as a “government of the people, by the people, for the people….".
Today’s election results have encouraged me that “we the people” can take back our government through honest and fair elections, as our Constitution delineates. If a historically Democrat state like Massachusetts can elect a Republican senator, then I know that my ideals are shared by many others.
I can’t wait for the November mid-term elections.
