KAREN SCHMIDT, 23rd District
I wish to change my vote from a AYE to a NAY on Substitute House Bill No. 2168
Representative Backlund: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is indeed an honor to reflect upon the life and accomplishments of this great man. For Lincoln came from a humble background; similar to many of us. A backwoods politician who looked beyond everyday problems around him; Lincoln stepped forward with courage and conviction. He made just and honest decisions for the people he served.
The respect and trust Lincoln earned came not so much from his ideological views, but from the quality of leadership he offered. Lincoln's ability to inspire and lead the citizens of this nation was exceptional. He had the wisdom, courage and faith to make decisions that very often were unpopular among his peers.
You see; Lincoln did not want to divide the nation. But he had to choose between compromise and standing firm for what he believed was right. His decisions were not made in an arrogant or defiant manner. Instead, he stood in a humble and forgiving way, with confidence that he was right.
This is a lesson, a lesson that should be practiced by all of us. Lincoln's success, both as a leader and as a politician resulted from his ability to attract support from a broad spectrum of people.
As a leader, he did not limit his exposure to those within his own party, or those who had different ideological views. His willingness to reach out to people of varied views and attitudes were characteristics of his leadership.
Lincoln cut through the smoke screens and he made courageous decisions which set him apart from those of mediocrity, or those who let the world shape their tomorrow.
Lincoln was able to do this with the citizens of his day. And he was successful as a politician and as a leader. These same characteristics are ones that should be embraced by all of us today.
The Speaker declared the House to be at ease.
The Speaker called the House to order.
