Welcome home Senator Arlen Specter.
I have worked with Senator Specter on a wide range of issues over the last 20 years and I have found him to be a man of incredible integrity, awesome intellect, and admirable courage. This man is a force of nature and a great asset to the Democratic Party.
Senator Specter’s courageous vote on the Recovery Act was yet another demonstration of his commitment to put people before party, principle before politics, and public service before all else.
It is clear that the Republican Party continues to drift further and further away from mainstream America. When you have no room in your Party for a great moderate like Arlen Specter, you know that you’re out of touch with the majority of the American people.
