A NEW BLOGGER

OK, so I know most of us are not into Washington state politics - do we even have a reader from Washington? - but my position is this:

Our young people are the future of this country. They have too many role models who do nothing but fuss yet take no positive action. So when we encounter a young person interested and trying to be active, like our Dem Soldier, we need to encourage them and give them what help and support we can, even if it is nothing more than moral support. Visiting their blogs and commenting once in a while may be just the little boost they need to keep going and not become discouraged. We need involvement of the young.

May I introduce Gerald Toompas, a student at Eastern Washington University, who has started blogging in January 2006 but shows he's a prolific poster. He has posts on Civil Rights and on Gay Rights as well as other issues on the agenda there.His blog is "Liberal Washington", at
