Readers Focus on Congressional Results
My submission to Editor: Richmon Times Dispatch printed Monday edition
When the new face of Congress sweeps over Washington we all should pay close attention to the committee chairmans. Citizens-Democrats and Republicans- should heed the profound words of one of Virginia's greatest statesmen, Woodrow Wilson, when he said:
"The voter, moreover, feels that his want of confidence in Congress is justified by what he hears of the power of corrupt lobbyists to turn legislation to their own issues; he is not altogether unwarranted in the conclusion that these are evils inherent in the very nature of Congress; there can be no doubt that the power of the lobbyiost consists in great part, if not altogther, in the facility afforded him by the committee system."
As Virginians, we must never forget that who we truly are is who we were.The issues may have changed, but the battle for liberty, freedom and rights we once held dear are being challenged without debate. Alter of Freedom seeks to "illuminate duty by every lesson that can be drawn out of the past" and inspire Virginia to return to the national debate continuing our rich tradition of service to this nation.
One Vision One Spirit One Voice
One Vision One Spirit One Voice is all about restoring the honor Virginians have always had in our great Commonwealth's history of leading our country from the front. Virginia once dominated the national debate and it is time we restore her to her right place of leadership. We must challenge all our leaders not to be politicians but Statesman. As we have celebrated Jamestown, we should endeavor to remind our leaders of the wisdom of our forefathers; leaders who were Visionaries, Free-Spirits and were the Voice of our people.
