KY: Calvin Bowles (D) (in office since 1997) - If there were a dagger through the heart of Democratic strategists looking to retake the Senate next year, it was the news that Calvin Bowles would retire. It's understood that he wants term-limited governor Peter Gault to succeed him, but Gault has not stated if he will run for the seat. Aside from that bit of trivia and being able to cruise to victory every six years since 1990, he hasn't compiled an impressive legislative resume. Senate KS: James Taglio (R) (in office since 1991) - The chair of the Budget Committee, Taglio is the senior-most junior senator. Let us never again fail to uphold that oath. Let us all this day, renew our oath of “never again”. We must be ready to do our part, to do our duty, and to uphold our sacred honor. In the face of a new rise of anti-semitism across the globe we must be ready, to act as the vanguard of freedom against the forces of evil and hatred. We all gather here on this day, not only to remember both the lost and those that survived, but to remind the world that we must remain forever vigilant. But that is why we, the leaders of the world are here today.
And yet, time and time again, we have failed. In the aftermath of this horror, the nations of the world took an oath of “never again” never again would we led such horror and evil be perpetrated onto the citizens of the earth. Yet, despite that staggering number, it only represents but a fraction of the victims of an evil regime. It is here, that over one million people were systematically, bureaucratically and intentionally murdered. It is here that humanity failed humanity. It is here, that we see what unchecked hatred can lead to.
Where we stand today, at a pair of gates that represent the evil in its purest and most vial form, shows us the truth of that statement. It has been said over and over again throughout history, that all that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
