: The GavelSwearing-In for Congresswoman Donna Edwards
By Jesse Lee
This afternoon Donna Edwards was sworn in on the House floor to fill the 4th district seat of Maryland.
| Rep. Edwards: “And so today I am an agent of change and an agent of their mandate. In America’s… profile is slightly tarnished around the world, and with our economy teetering at home, we can only hope that we don’t wait for that change to happen until next January. That my constituents have said to me, we can’t wait for change to begin. We can’t wait six months to do something about foreclosures forcing thousands of Marylanders, thousands of people across this country and in Prince George’s and Montgomery County away from their homes, and we can’t wait six months to address skyrocketing costs of gas prices and groceries while we engage in short-term solutions — while we engage in short-term solutions that are bound, without focusing on the long-term solutions for alternative energy and things that really will propel us throughout this 21st century.” |
