[Vision2020] Moscow Tea Party

Sun Apr 19 12:42:23 PDT 2009

Stop. Saundra is wonderful and the community is much better off having  
her than not.

Part of what disturbs me about the anti-politician rhetoric is that it  
distorts the facts, or perhaps it just distorts our luck.

For we are lucky in that we have as representatives such examples as  
Shirley Ringo and Tom Trail. And I would add, Linda Paul. Folks who  
have devoted their lives to service for no other reason -- as far as I  
can tell -- other than that they want to serve us.

I suppose that if you asked them they might say that they are just  
giving back what they have received. I've never asked them.
