The cherry trees situated around the Tidal Basin and East Potomac Park are facing an early demise as their roots are being crushed because of soil compaction. The deadly pressure on the roots is caused by the feet of the 20 million observers who flock to the National Mall every year and the one million who come to Washington exclusively for the Cherry Blossom Festival.

In an America dominated by the Bush administration, a strengthened Republican presence both in the Senate and House of Representatives and a right-leaning Supreme Court, the Democratic Party has struggled to keep its message heard. As a party fighting for public support and an image of themselves as something besides simply the "Anti-Republican Party," the Democrats need to return to their original base of definitive liberal ideals and grassroots politics to once again make an impact on the American political spectrum. By taking definite stances on current issues, reflecting these opinions in a new platform and creating public support networks to spread their message, the Democratic Party can once again return to its standard of being a voice for the voiceless.
