Quote of Note: Donna Edwards
"Congress must not give in to the President on the issue of immunity for telecommunications companies who have violated the law . . . These companies and their powerful lobbyists have given generous contributions to members of Congress including [Edwards' just-defeated primary opponent, incumbent] Congressman Wynn [D-MD]. They must be held accountable. These companies had a choice and some chose to break the law and violate our civil liberties. No amount of money or influence should prevent the companies and their senior decision makers from being held accountable if they broke the law. Corporations cannot be allowed to break the law under the thinly veiled guise of ‘national security’ and walk away without penalty."Victorious Congressional candidate Donna Edwards, on her campaign Web site [link].
