We can recover from these hard times by doing things right and doing the right thing.
I have always believed in the necessity and possibility of government and the private sector working together, now more than ever.
Lincoln's approach to the crisis of his day--saving the Union and ending slavery-- apply to the crisis of our day--saving our economy, our environment and providing affordable health care. He wrote: "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. ... As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."
Toward meeting those ends and acting anew, I am ready to be a part of the democratic process in the Legislature. I will work there to "act anew" and "think anew" to find solutions to our problems, No. 1 being putting people back to work.
And, finally, if one sentiment stays with me in regard to governing, it is this from former Vice President Hubert Humphrey: "The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the disabled."
I will always try to pass that moral test.
Respectfully,
Charles Malone
