One of the U.S. Senate's most effective leaders for progressive change is Vermont's Patrick Leahy. He's an early and steadfast opponent of the misguided War in Iraq; a stalwart defender of human rights abroad and civil rights at home; a leader in the fight for improved childhood nutrition; and a champion for sound environmental policies.
Leahy is also one of the strongest supporters of President Obama's economic recovery policies. And unlike so many of the weak-kneed and knee-jerked, the unflappable Leahy is pushing for the establishment of a Truth Commission on the treacherous lead up to the Iraq War.
The 69 year old is asking Vermonters for a sixth term as their senator. And why shouldn't he?
