Walking the Walk

You know the term. Talk the talk and walk the walk. This evening I traveled to Lower Bucks to witness a hero who's doing exactly that. Paul Lang, disabled Coast Guard veteran, is running for the State Senate in the 6th District. I got acquainted with Paul last year through people I know in Bucks County. He's a fine, handsome young man who impresses the heck out of everyone who meets him. Exactly the sort we desperately need in Harrisburg. A man who won't vote himself a 50% pension increase on the backs of taxpayers like his opponent Tommy Tomlinson did.

This is a strong Democratic district, one Paul can win with everyone's support. You can visit his website to learn more about him. Also please contribute in time and money if possible.

Paul was endorsed by a real American hero today. Someone who walks the walk. A man who is using everything he has to turn this country around. A former U.S. Senator labeled a traitor by Republicans because he dared stand up to their attacks on the civil service system. Because he tried to stop Bush's politicization of the federal government. He's spending every ounce of energy and all his time aiding candidates like Paul, Bryan Lentz and others win this year. He isn't just talking the talk, he's out there in the summer heat walking the walk.

I salute you Max Cleland. You're walking tall in my book.
