Week of November 2, 2008 - November 8, 2008

A Public Appeal to George W. Bush; pardon Don Siegelman!


President Bush;
It would do your legacy a world of good if you took the moral pathway and pardoned Don Siegelman in the days before you leave office.

With just 75 days left in your administration, you have an opportunity to, in some small way, shed a positive light for the schoolchildren of the future to look back on, and offering a pardon to Siegelman would accomplish that for you.

There is little doubt Siegelman was a victim of your own DOJ used awry, so take this opportunity to rectify just one of the black marks against your legacy. Pardon Don Siegelman, while you still have the power to do so.

If not for Siegelman's sake, do it for the sake of unity between our embattled partisan factions, and do it for your own sake.

Rectifying this egregious injustice could only be good for your soul.

The case for Sebelius at HHS


From today's Wichita Eagle; 

A potential Obama cabinet projected in June on the Daily Kos Web site slotted Sebelius in at secretary of Health and Human Services.

It's not a bad guess, said Mel Kahn, a professor of political science at Wichita State University.

Health care reform is expected to be a key goal of the Obama administration and Sebelius has strong credentials in that area, he said.

Kahn said that in her previous role as Kansas insurance commissioner, Sebelius established herself as someone who could stand up to powerful insurance interests.

She blocked a planned merger between the for-profit Anthem Insurance Co. of Indiana and the member-owned Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas. Sebelius also has fought for universal health coverage for children, a prime goal of Obama's health plan.
