Welcome

Welcome to my blog! This is my first foray into the blog experience, so I apoligize if things are a little slow getting started.

I've been contemplating the idea of doing one of these for a while, and I finally gave in after reading through a number of the Federalist Papers (hence the name of the page). I don't in any way expect that my commentary will be as enlightened or well-articulated as the letters written by Hamilton, Madison and Jay, but I think that there are not enough people in America speaking out about government. I hope that people will enjoy reading my observations on politics and related issues, and I really want people to post comments and observations of their own.

I'm going to try to operate this site by placing some kind of quote or summary of an issue, and include my thoughts on it. This may change in the future, but its the best I can think of right now.

With that in mind, let's give this a shot!
