Fresh from it's well deserved vacation, the unofficial Terri Sewell blog of record, Left in Alabama offers congratulations to Alabamas first elected African American Congresswoman. Wow! I wonder when Left in Alabama is going to have it's first African American female front pager, but I digress. :)
The anonymous writer for The Selma Times Journal is confident Sewell will represent the interest of the Black Belt and crows (no pun) about the following;
For the first time in a long while, Alabama’s Black Belt has one of its own fighting for us in Congress and doing it is a woman this community helped raise and is extremely proud of.
I guess it depends on what the definition of "one of our own" IS seeing how Sewell hasn't lived or voted in the Black Belt for years.
mooncat shares the Selma Times-Journal's confidence that Terri Sewell will be a competent and conscientious representative for the Black Belt urging her to go forth and make Alabama proud.
Uh...all of that sounds great, but talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. I hope I will hear some substance from the Congresswoman tonight during her appearance on the "Congressional Voices" segment of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric this evening. I don't want to hear a mumbling word about Y-O-U being the first female African American elected to Congress from Alabama, because it's not about Y-O-U, it's about the PEOPLE, remember? It's not about going to Washington D.C and being a Socialite with modest wealth. I hope those who say you are a fraudulent seat warmer are wrong. Not for my sake, but for the residents of the 7th district.
No go forth and work for the people of the 7th district, that will make all of us proud. The residents of the 7th district need and deserve a work horse, not another show pony.
My big RedEye will be trained on you like a laser beam.
