While, like many Americans, I found myself crying all night, my daughter Natasha turned her grief into the poem,"Martyr For the People."

Later, Natasha wrote a resolution calling for an independent investigation into the death of Paul Wellstone.   As the Democratic Party of Orange County (CA) was about to vote on the resolution, an assistant to Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez stood up and stated point blank that Loretta was receiving contributions from Raytheon (the fatal plane's manufacturer) and that Raytheon might stop contributing to Loretta if the Democratic Party called for an independent investigation into the death of Paul Wellstone.

The best way to honor Paul is to end the reign of the corporate lobbies and to elect only leaders who agree to put the people in charge.

Here are some sites with some interesting information regarding what many informed Americans consider an assassination of a once future President.
