Open Apology to Senator Cantwell

For some time now, I have been stating some of the reasons that I have been upset with Senator Cantwell and the votes she has cast that I feel do not represent my values. Amongst those reasons I have been asserting that Sen. Cantwell voted for both rounds of the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy. In doing some research for a posting on another Blog in the last 24 hours, I have determined that there is no credible reference for that claim and want to take this time and space to publicly apologize to Senator Cantwell for making these assertions without merit.

There is no and I claim no excuse for this lack of due diligence on my part and sincerely regret any harm that may have been caused by my lack of good judgment. We all are aware of the effects that unsubstantiated claims made on the internet can have on others and I am especially concerned for any impact (however minor) my false assertions may have had on any persons who may have read my postings on this subject.

I welcome now and in the future any challenges to information that I will put forth on this Blog and hope that those who read my words will use good judgment in following up on anything that they feel may be in question. Even in the limited space of this Blog, there is a great responsibility to be honest and truthful. I accept that responsibility and, again, apologize to Senator Cantwell and to those who may read this Blog.

Peace,
