This blog is for Kristopher Anderson, Treasurer of the Young Democrats of America. I will also include information relating to the Young Democrats of Illinois and Young Democrats of Cook County.
Thank you for visiting. My life's interest rest in politics and public policy. I begin law school this fall and I ask for your prayers and your support. I want to be a corporate attorney because there is a need for more persons of color in these roles. However, regardless of my job I will always be an advocate. I thank my mother, Sherma E. Sallee-Anderson for making me the man that I am. I also thank my father and my two sisters for their undying love and support. Last, praise the Lord for his mercy and I thank the Lord for you all.

I do not think that Mr. Felt was courageous at all. Besides the fact that he violated national security by leaking details to the press, he waited more than 30 years to come forward. If he were really courageous, he would have been more straightforward. What he did was illegal, whether it was moral or not is not the question. If he had a moral duty to tell, then he should have accepted the consequences that came with his moral duty. Now, we have to hear about a 90-year-old man with failing health who leaked secrets thirty years ago in the upcoming weeks when it no longer matters.
I personally think Mr. Felt did what he thought he had to do given the political climate of that time. With Nixon trying to seize all the power, I don't think he would have been well recieved but more importantly I doubt anything would have come of it. No one at the time was willing to blantly work against the President even in the FBI.
