Donna Edwards voting record

H.R.4314

Donna Edwards voted to increase the limit on the national debt to $12,394,000,000,000.

That's "twelve trillion, three hundred and ninety four billion dollars" in case you wanted to write it on a check. I wonder what the point of a limit is if you just keep increasing it every time you get near it?
House Amendment 509

Donna Edwards voted against prohibiting federal funding for abortion services.

In other words, Donna Edwards supports using your tax money to fund abortions. Note that the bill would have allowed federal funds to be used in cases of rape, incest or where the woman's life is in danger. Also note that you would still be able to get abortions through private insurance or personal funds. The ONLY thing this bill did was ask that federal tax dollars not be used for elective abortions.

Donna Edwards supports using your tax dollars to pay for any abortion for any reason.

HR 3221

ACORN was caught in a scandal. I have linked one of the videos above but you can always Google for more info. Congress voted to stop sending federal money to ACORN. 345 representatives voted yes, 75 representatives, including Donna Edwards, voted no.

Donna Edwards wanted to continue sending federal money to ACORN.
