Martin Luther King, Jr. on Commitment – Are You Making a Difference?

By: welshTerrier2 Sunday January 15, 2012 4:00 pm

Well, I can admit I don’t quite measure up to Martin’s standard. The good news is, though, that with each passing year, I have become a better warrior. I have broken out of my little shell and have learned to be comfortable with strongly expressing my opinions in public settings. I’m a regular speaker at local board hearings that are often televised. While I’m no movie star, I frequently get an “oh, I recognize you” from people around town. I take seriously the maxim “think globally; act locally.”

Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
