Joe Sudbay writes: A Better Democrat for Congress: Donna Edwards will put her constituents first.
According to the Washington Post, Prince Georges County, Maryland has the highest mortgage foreclosure rate in the state. You'd think that the congressman from Prince Georges County would have been worried about the predatory lending affecting his constituents. Nope. While the mortgage crisis was brewing, Rep. Al Wynn was doing everything he could to protect the financial services industry -- not the families in his district. And that culminated with his vote for the bankruptcy bill.
Dig deep for Donna, and give what you can -- $100, $50, $10 -- no amount is too small!The mortgage crisis didn't happen overnight. And, we're not saying the bankruptcy bill caused the mortgage crisis. But let's be real. Members of Congress, like Al Wynn, were too busy doing the bidding of the large banks and financial institutions to worry about consumers. That has to change.We need better Democrats. We need Democrats who will put the interests of their constituents before the powerful special interests. We need Donna Edwards in Congress.

She seems great- thanks for the tip. We all must remember that it is not just our own representation that matters, it is what happens as a whole.
Thank you BAC!
I agree, Fran, and I contribute to a number of feminist candidates across the country. My feeling is if EVERYONE who wants a better government would contribute to great candidates like Donna (in Maryland) or Darcy Burner (in Washington state) we might someday get the government we WANT! How wonderful would that be!

Fran: She is great. A compelling candidate, especially since she is running against Wynn. I'm going to send her some green love this weekend.
Great! Thanks, pissed!
