Yvette on Iraq

While some Representatives from New York try figuring out their position on the Iraq War resolution, expect to hear newly elected Congresswoman Yvette Clarke's position on the war around 10 a.m. on C-SPAN.

On the campaign trail, Clarke's message about the war was this:

"Imagine a Congress that was half female, allowing our children to be sent to war, in harm's way without an extremely good reason."

Her remark (above) is on point. Too bad is was written by Stefan Friedman

maybe if she graduates college first, then stops treating staff like animals, we'd actually listen to her.

This college dropout lied about having a degree for almost twenty years, what else she won't lie about now?

People why don't you all stop being so petty with your foolish and stupid remarks. It does not matter who wrote the remark. Yvette might just feel the same way.

A woman born to lead, recognized as such by the electorate, mostly people who have had the pleasure of meeting her, sometimes knowing her, in every case feeling her passion and beholding her gifts. Negative comes from those who care not, nor dare, to present themselves for public service.

All you disgruntle former employees, the Congresswoman have been above and beyond good to you. Have you ever stop to think that on the Federal level things operate differently and that a transition team was assigned to Ms Clarke????? Find something more constructive to do with your time, instead of spreading negativity. Congresswoman Clarke is doing a great job thus far, it has only been 3 months. She is a phenomenal woman who will do great things the District 40. Go Congresswoman Clarke, we the people of your district love and support. God Bless you always.
