I've been blogging for some time now, over at
Slater in Seattle. That blog focuses on IT issues, mainly security, and is affiliated with my work. I've been itching to spend time blogging about things that are more important to me, namely the direction of my adopted country (I'm a transplant to the United States from England).Now with the Democrats taking the House and the Senate, I've decided to bite the bullet and launch this blog, where I can freely express myself in the spirit of the first amendment. The purpose of this blog is to help focus the Democratic party on the issues I feel are vital to the forward direction on this country. In no particular order, I believe these to be:
- Creating government that is truly accountable to the people
- Narrowing the gap between rich and poor
- Dealing with threats to our national security
- Reducing the threat of violent crime
- Providing first class health care to all
- Providing first class education to all
- Resolving the social security crisis
- Resolving the immigration crisis
In the course of the next few months and years I'll be exploring each of these issues in depth, as well as dealing with the news of the day. I look forward to hearing your comments to tell me where I am right and where I am horribly wrong.
