Unofficial blog by a supporter and a former loyal constituent

When choosing a state representative it is very important to look at what you suppose the situation will turn out to be in your area when the person in question gets elected. Among the most important issues worrying any conscientious citizen are problems of healthcare, security and education. These are the cornerstones of society without which modern life is impossible to imagine. State representatives like Margaret Donnelly believe in all those three important values and want to see them take priority over simple acquisition of profits and thoughtless consumerism.

Belief is medical services available to all layers of population is an old one. It has to be something all of us strive for, the availability of medical assistance for elderly citizens, children, the financially destitute and physically disabled. It is something that tests society for its level of civilization. Because the advanced development of some nation isn’t only manifested through its use of technology but also through the degree of care this society places to medical services for those who cant afford them. Education is right there with medicine, because the level of education determines the future and the present of a given nation. When you chose a politician in your area look carefully into their position on those issues. You will be sorry if you don’t.

As you can understand, this article is the last one that will put an end to the topic of political issues. And here we will see what Margaret Donelly thinks about weapon, family and economy.

During the 2004 House session, Margaret supported legislation to stop the state from entering into contracts that outsource state jobs. In order to have a strong economy, Missouri, she believes, must invest in new areas of growth while defending existing jobs from leaving the state. She strongly believes that we can be a leader in the life sciences and the biotech research industry. With the strong public private partnerships in this area, particularly at Missouri universities and colleges, we have the means to build new jobs and attract companies. We must use our state money to support research and attract these industries. There is a move to pass legislation that would define cloning so narrowly that it would make it a crime to perform promising stem cell research. It should be mentioned that , she vigorously opposes such limits on life-saving medical research. Can you imagine if one day a stem cell researcher would need a criminal defense lawyer simply for trying to save or extend our lives! That would be horrible and Margaret knows that better than many.

As for children and families, Margaret Donelly has a lot of experience. I has worked to prevent the safeguards for abused and neglected children from being weakened. She is ready to continue to support efforts to make the foster care system safer and more effective. She will also make it a priority to improve our system for monitoring day care programs to make sure they are safe.

And finally, concealed weapons… The concealed weapons carry law legislation has created problems for state and local police forces and concerns for our communities. The state cannot require the local governments to pay the cost of issuing the permits. No permits are being issued for St. Louis County while they challenge this provision in the law. She will continue to do what she can to close the loopholes that create dangerous conditions at schools and public places and to safeguard limits on the types of people who can carry concealed weapons.

After having read this article and three previous, you understand why I support this person…

A couple of upcoming posts will be devoted to political issues of Margaret Donnelly. As you know I, Vasil Kalinkovich, support her very much and appreciate everything she does. Let us see what Margaret does for Missouri and all the people around.

We will start with budget. Like other states, Missouri is dealing with the ongoing problem of low revenues and high demands on its budget. Things are slowly improving-last year saw increase in revenue for the first time in 3 years. But the fact remains, economically Missouri is coming out of a deep hole from years of little money and big expenses. There are hard choices that need to be made. Many federal programs are under-funded, and in some cases not funded at all and there is no possibility for entry waivers. Missouri must take up the slack to cover essential services and programs throughout the state. Margaret believes that people must ensure that education, health programs and services for families, children and the elderly are supported. She is sure that we must continue to carefully examine all state programs to make sure money is being used as wisely and effectively as possible.

Education is another issue Margaret Donnelly is focused on. Public education is the number one responsibility of state government and has always been a priority for her. The President’s No Child Left Behind Act, was unfortunately not fully funded, leaving states and local districts the responsibility of paying for federal mandates. In the 73rd District, schools were funded almost exclusively by local tax revenue, but did get state funding for special programs for gifted students, transportation and the voluntary desegregation program. All of these have been cut in recent years. As a result, our local districts are finding it difficult to maintain programs and services. She believes, the state of Missouri must keep its promises and properly fund its commitments. In the coming legislative session government will face revisions to basic school funding formula. Any changes must treat US school districts fairly and recognize sacrifices made by the communities to support schools.

I will be really short in the introduction. I’m not going to write a lot of things about my personality and interests because this blog is devoted to another person - Margaret Donnelly. A prominent woman with unique knowledge and experience. I am just lucky to have been her loyal constituent while living and working in the US.

I believe, it is necessary to underline again that this blog is an unofficial one and has been created by a former loyal constituent and supporter of Margaret who is living in the country of his origin now. I respect this person and has decided to make people knowledgeable about her.

We will cover many topics here. We will discuss her biography, issues, her running for Attorney General of the state of Missouri, her supporters and other things. We will also talk about different topics coherent with the general idea of this blog. You can start reading and I hope you will enjoy it!

She always believed that there is always room for forgiveness even if you’re not proud of your past, but with Canadian Pardons and impaired driving lawyers from Pardon Granted you can ensure that your criminal record doesn’t hang over you for life.
