We support community activist Donna Edwards in her bid to unseat Maryland's 4th district Congressman Al Wynn.
Wynn is a Bush-Democrat. He represents one of the bluest districts in the country, so he is never worried about a Republican opponent. However, when Republicans and big money interests need his vote, he's always there to take their side when it counts.
He voted for going to war in Iraq, Dick Cheney's energy bill, the bankruptcy bill of 2005, to repeal the estate tax, against the endangered species act, for drilling in Alaska's national reserves, and for many other radical right wing legislative efforts.
He is a living legacy of the dirty machine politics that have dominated Prince George's County for too long. On August 16, 2006, at a debate at PG Community College, Wynn staff members physically assaulted Edwards volunteers. Wynn also refuses to debate Edwards, thinking he can win elections just by raising millions and blanketing the airwaves with deceptive advertisements.
Donna Edwards will bring real change to Congress. In the 2006 Washington Post endorsement of Edwards, they wrote, "Tough, articulate and knowledgeable, she is one of the smartest and most impressive newcomers in Maryland politics...She has championed a higher minimum wage, campaign finance reform and an array of environmental issues, and she fought for legislation to curtail domestic violence."
Edwards ran against Wynn in 2006, coming up short by just 2,725 votes. This time, Edwards is running again with just as much enthusiasm and far more support from progressive activists and organizations. As students, we must do more than simply demand better representation-- we must go out and create the change we desire.
It's time to shake things up in gorgeous Prince George's. |
