Quote of the Day: Maryland Sen. Ron Young
Feb 25, 2011
“There are times when you have to do what is right. We are here not just be representatives, we are here to be leaders. If I lose an election over this vote, so what?”
- Maryland Sen. Ron Young, a Democrat who narrowly defeated notoriously anti-gay state Republican Sen. Alex Mooney in last November’s election, and last night cast a vote to end marriage discrimination. The Maryland Senate passed marriage equality 25-21 with Sen. Young’s vote.
Wow, thank you! I am so uplifted by your vision of yourself as a “leader”. Thank you for your courage and your determination to do what’s right. I wish this were common in the world of politics.
Thank you, Ron Young. You will always have my vote. It is refreshing to finally have representation in our district who is both human and humaine!
I do so wish this were the way our Government on all levels operated. You are a good man. And I hope you continue to be able to serve as a leader, in whatever capacity you choose. I would definitely campaign for you and vote for you.
