US Senator Pete Domenici's Swan Song

"The phrase "Swan song" is a reference to an ancient belief that the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is completely mute during its lifetime, except for singing a single, heartbreakingly beautiful song just before it dies." wiki link


In 1993, Pete Domenici, Michael Josephson, and 48 other
"leaders" got together in Aspen Colorado and birthed
Character Counts!

And then abandoned their child to fend for itself.

At the end of his career in public service;
Pete Domenici could end his silent defense of his child
and sing a swan song to rescue the child from

Paula Maes,
the single worst thing that has ever happened
to Character Counts! in its entire history.


Pete Domenici could stand behind
the Pillars of Character Counts!
and stand up against those
who are making a mockery of the pillars.
Paula Maes, and the good ol boys in the APS, and in
the media, Thomas J Lang, Mary Lynn Roper, and
Michelle Donaldson,
the NM Foundation for Open
Government, Leonard DeLayo

and NM Common Cause, Teresa-Asnap Brito.



He could be instrumental in installing the first public servant
(probably in the entire world) who is honestly accountable to
a meaningful standard of conduct (the Pillars of Character
Counts!) under an honest system powerful to hold him and
all of his good ol' boy cronies,
accountable even against their will.

It is really a shame that Pete Domenici, apparently
really doesn't believe in all this character counts crap,

either.

I guess he's just like so many of the people around us.. "IT's someone else's problem now; let them deal with it.".
This is a common problem in American society now.
