I'm from Missouri. Historically, Missouri has been a state of Democrats, but right now it is run by Republicans. I felt unrepresented there for many years.
Several months ago we moved to Wisconsin, and even though it's colder here and we're expecting a snowstorm tomorrow when we should be eagerly anticipating spring, I like living here.
One reason is our senators. Specifically, Senator Russ Feingold.
At a time when Republicans are blindly behind administration policies and Democrats are too weak to speak out, along comes Senator Feingold calling for censure.
These days there are times when I'm reluctant to affiliate myself with the Democratic party because it seems to be just slightly left of the Republican party. Very slightly. Let's hope more leaders will follow the example of Senator Feingold and stand up for what's right.
Voters don't have too many choices these days. We need some reasons to be proud of our choices--not just settling for the lesser of two evils.
