Winter Light
On a cold January morning here on Cape Cod, Massachusetts gears up for yet another election, a special election, to fill the United States Senate seat that has been vacant for some time now, as Teddy Kennedy, the “Last Lion” of the Senate passed away last year. Martha Coakley is the democratic choice, and indeed the choice for anyone who is interested in fair health care reform, regulations on the greedy banks and accountability from the Senate as a whole as the filibuster routine is getting old, and so are the Senators, lazily holding on to their seats. Scott Brown is the republican who looks like a ken doll and speaks with a thick Massachusetts accent. Of Brown, President Obama, who was at a rally in Boston yesterday for Coakley, said this of the cookie cutter obstructionist, “Scott Brown has a truck (his attempt to appeal to the “common man”) , but I would not take a ride in Scott’s truck, because you know he will be parking that truck on Wall Street.” How true, how true…let us pray that he won’t get any further than the Massachusetts Turnpike and his rhetoric will fall away like a wave crashing onto a rock. Please say a prayer for this special election, as it is paramount to keeping the 60-40 majority in the United States Senate! Health care reform and many other items on the agenda hang in the balance. Have a nice Tuesday! Peace~ M
