When I heard these Democratic heroes took a stand by "sitting ", I let out a cheer and I got CHILLS! Did you ever find a list of the participants? I would love to see it. Thanks!

I just discovered she lost her Senate bid and will lose her seat in Congress. Is this true?

Her seat in Congress will be taken by Anthony Brown, who lost his race for governor to a repug, Hogan.

I was saddened but not surprised, as Van Hollen's a member of the 'in' group of the Dem party. and had a lot of $$$ to spend against Donna Edwards.
