Until such time politicians are ready and willing to do away with the general funds found at local, state, and federal levels, until such time all monies acquired through taxation are specifically identified, as in earmarked to specific accounts, I must politely decline to believe Senator Allard and all other politicians do not have my best interests at heart.

Generaly, I have to agree--politicians are so hard to trust. So, how can a citizen tell the difference between a politician, and a true leader commited to his/her constituents?

From those that know Allard, he is said to be a man of character. I hope its true, and I hope this transalates into a continued firm stand against wastefull spending.

Senator Allard, by the way, was one of only nine Senators who recently voted that the U.S. military should NOT be required to follow its own guidelines in interrogating prisoners.

"A man of character"? Hmmm... I think not.

Just my opinion. Good luck with the blog.
