Senator’s Grandson denied delegate Status
Thursday, June 19th, 2008
Seattle Weekly reported this week that Jack Laurence, the grandson Senator Henry M. Jackson will not be a representative at the Democratic Convention this year. While affirmative action was cited as the rationale by Washington State Party Officials, the real reason may be more devious. Could the Grandson of the Namesake of one of the most powerful Submarines transcend much more than one person and one vote at a convention like this?What’s in a name? Before the Tridents, we had 41 submarines known as the 41 for Freedom named after great people who did things to preserve freedom throughout our 200+ years as a nation. Senator Jackson would be number 42.It is easy to overlook this as merely political, but this is also the son of the Sponsor of our Submarine. Maybe there is fear that another defender of freedom may rise, and this flies in the face of current party direction.
