A Republican hero: Washington State's Maureen Walsh

By Jack Brummet, Washington State Editor

A Republican in our state, Representative Maureen Walsh, gave a courageous and emotional speech in favor of the same sex marriage bill wending its way through our legislature.  This couldn't have been an easy thing to do as a Republican, and she did a great job, stating correctly that this is not an issue of parties, but an issue of conscience.

She is being celebrated across the nation (and certainly also being vilified in the darker corners) today for her courage and straight-ahead plain thinking.  Thank you Rep. Walsh!
