In the early 1700's, there was a young man that demonstrated his physical prowess, chopping down the only Cherry Tree on his father's homestead.

When his father discovered that the tree had fallen, he asked his son if he knew who chopped the tree down. He replied, "I can not tell a lie, I chopped down the Cherry Tree". Those were the infamous words from our first President, George Washington.

Since then, "political morality" has become a dying breed, as the following two letters will exemplify the modern day story of a "Political Pinocchio"........

Thanks for your letter regarding the pay raise vote. I did vote no for the pay raise and have made arrangements to return the funds to the Commonwealth's General Fund so that the taxpayers will save.

Very truly yours,
