Our Last Best Hope #00

Forgive me for plagiarizing someone with this title, but it's honestly how I am feeling these days. The map depicts the states where senatorial elections are occurring in November of this year. The Senate IS THE LAST possible check on the power of our current president. In the hands of the members of his political party, it has become a rubber stamp for his (the party's) agenda. Even when someone realizes that things are not kosher and speaks up, they are quickly subdued and then tow the line.

For this reason, America MUST re-establish a bi-partisan political system.

And this can best be done in the Senate, so I am now inaugurating a new series that will look at the members of congress up for re-election in the Senate. This post will include a complete list of the current class I senator (those with seats to be re-elected this year) and then one by one I will offer my thoughts on each.
