DONNA EDWARDS IS #1 (DownWithTyranny!)

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 23:30:00 GMT

We worked long and we worked hard to help elect Donna Edwards. Perhaps you watched her being sworn in here at DWT on Thursday. I never doubted how she would vote on Thursday night when Steny Hoyer led 80 right-wing warmonger Dems across the aisle to join with the extremist Republicans in passing Bush's War In Iraq Forever bill. And the next day, yesterday, Donna again resisted...

Iraq 4-Ever (D-Day)

No-strings funding passes . 151 Democratic votes against, almost 2/3 of the caucus. Including, in one of her first votes, Donna Edwards. I guess that "majority of the majority" thing doesn't apply. Four Republicans voted against, and I expected Ron Paul, but John Campbell of CA-48? The hell? I think he is opposed to the process, or spending of any kind or something. Enjoy your war, 6...

DONNA EDWARDS WAS JUST SWORN IN AS A US CONGRESSMEMBER (DownWithTyranny!)

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:15:00 GMT

Today Speaker Pelosi swore in Donna Edwards as the newest member of Congress. My eyes teared up when I watched. I thought it ironic that Ms. Pelosi asked Donna to swear she will "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic " and that she "will bear true faith and allegiance to the same." Does that mean Donna has to make...

I had the pleasure of spending a weekend at an event put on by the Arca Foundation earlier this spring. Donna Edwards was there, in her capacity as the foundation’s president, and I got a chance to hang out and chat. I came away supremely impressed by her intellect, passion and wisdom. Also, her clear-eyed understanding of what’s broken about Washington. As of today, Edwards is...

Congratulations to now-Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), who just became the first Black woman elected to Maryland's congressional delegation out of the 4th District.
