Chris Dodd, "Keeping Faith With Our Values"

by Monica Smith [courtesy of Blog for America]

Senator Dodd's focus on how our Constitution, the framework of our government, has been eroded during the administration of George W. Bush has been a constant theme and, indeed, one of the prime motives for his candidacy.

While the video of the speech to the Iowa City Council on Foreign Relations runs to 48 minutes and takes a long time to load, even on high speed broad band, Dodd's speech is only seventeen minutes. It is, however, full of references to a number of individuals who have been on the front lines, protecting the Constitution, whose efforts probably deserve even more attention. So, I'll try to provide a few links.
