Thank you Dean for your comment. I wish more elected officials would recognize and remember that they are only elected for a fixed term of office and that they should work as hard as possible to do the work of the people during that time period. Then, when the next election rolls around, the cycle repeats itself. Abraham Lincoln only served a single term in Congress. He was not continually looking down the road to the next election and making his legislative decisions based on his own re-election objectives. People should always elect the best available candidates in each new election cycle. Incumbancy should only be an advantage when principles and results of prior service support such a reaffirmation of prior voter confidence. When you look at the campaign war chest that Congressmen and Senators accumulate through heavy lobbyists and special interest contributions, you get a very different picture and feeling.

Excellent message LaVar!
The challenge is to gather such statesmen who are willing to face those who are unwilling to discuss, debate and deliberate, but who would rather castigate for political gain.
We must however, always do what is right if truth is to prevail.
