Didier Hopes to Become State’s Next U.S. Senator
Politics by Anton on November 1st, 2009 with 9 Comments so far.United States Senator Patty Murray has been serving in elected office since 1989. She has won three consecutive terms to the U.S. Senate and, according to campaign finance reports, has more than $3 million cash on hand (as of April) – enough cash to unnerve many potential challengers. However, Clint Didier, a resident of Connell, Washington and a first-time candidate for elected office, has formed an exploratory committee to consider a run against Murray and is convinced his conservative principles and hard work can help him challenge Washington’s longest-serving U.S. Senator.
Reagan on Poland (1981) vs. Obama on Iran (2009)
Politics by Steve Beren on June 16th, 2009 with No Comments so far.President Ronald Reagan on Poland, December 23, 1981 (in response to the brutal actions of the Polish communist dictatorship in seeking to crush the pro-democracy Solidarity movement):
“I want emphatically to state tonight that if the outrages in Poland do not cease, we cannot and will not conduct business as usual with the perpetrators who aid and abet them. Make no mistakes, their crime will cost them dearly in their future dealings with American and free people everywhere…. We will suspend Polish civil aviation privileges in the United States. We are suspending the right of Polish fishing fleets to operate in American waters. And we are proposing to our allies further restrictions of high technology exports to Poland. These actions are not directed against the Polish people, they are a warning to the government of Poland that free men cannot and will not stand idly by in the face of brutal oppression.”
