Rep. Edwards meets with constituents

An excerpt:

At Saint Matthews United Methodist Church in Bowie Monday, Maryland Representative Donna Edwards was invited to speak at an inter-faith service honoring the life of Doctor Martin Luther King Junior.

There was no motorcycle escort getting to the church, no entourage, no bodyguards protecting the Congresswomen, just one aide who sat nearby.

In her remarks to the congregation, Edwards weaved the lessons from Tucson into the teachings of Doctor King.

"We've been reminded over the course of this last week to week and a half the importance of words and language and Doctor King knew the importance of words and language, he understood that words in fact have meaning".
