Louisville, Ky - This is the final posting of the Atomic! project.
We've come a long way in 4 years, and that could only be accomplished with the support of people like you...reading this...right now! We've never asked for a penny from our members. We don't accept donations. We do all of the work ourselves. We host our own sites, pay for them, build them, and maintain them.
Since our launch WAY back in 2004, the world has changed in some significant ways. Kentucky has changed too. We've gone from a hard-right-Red-State, to a solid 'purple' one. Our people have felt the effects of an out of control government. We've even had a few criminal Governors along the way. But we've also elected a true Liberal to the Congress in John Yarmuth. We rejected the politically retarded, and self obsessed Anne Northup in the process. We almost unseated Sen. Mitch McConnell. We elected Democrat Steve Beshear...and he's turned out to be a better leader than initially expected. We've managed to get some 'pork' into the state as well, by way of infrastructure improvements...roads...bridges...you name it. Viva la Pork!
We've also done whatever we could to oppose the war in Iraq, and better support the effort in Afghanistan. We've done anything that we could to support troops both on the battlefield, and at home.
I have no idea if we had any impact at all...but we had to try.
Bill Maher said it best:
So, this is a new age...a new time for us. What will we do with it? Will we hold the new government to account to the promises made, the changes we really require?
Let's hope. While the Republican party has the simpler task of rebuilding itself as a national party, the Democrats have the more difficult task of actually running the show. There will be some mistakes along the way. Not everything works out. But we need to be ready to hold fire to feet and never allow a government to grow out of control in the way the Bush administration has.
We get the government we deserve. And right now, for the first time in a long time, I am feeling pretty good about it.
Feel free to go back in time...read through our archives. It's been interesting :)
