The Congressman spoke at
length about the need to de-
fend the recent reforms to
healthcare legislation, using
his own daughter Dorothy’s
struggle with cancer to em-
phasize the need underprivi-
leged families have for low
cost medical care. He
moved on to the importance
of protecting the environ-
ment, especially in light of
the growing crisis in the Gulf
of Mexico, and more locally,
inter-sexed fish in the Poto-
mac River. The Congress-
man went on to speak about
the very real need for immi-
gration reform, moving

the American peoples’ hard

“In the 112th Congress, I

tem, an educational system
that develops every child's

the story of his assistant
Maria, and the difficulties
she encountered before

the “proudest day of her

closed with a denunciation
of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t

mand for equality in our
armed services.
The event wound down

role in enabling individuals

Jim Moran Secures Two More Endorsements in his
Campaign to Continue Representing Virginia’s 8th District
Congressman Continues to Garner Support from National Organizations
On July 12, 2010, Congress-
man Moran secured the en-

689. With over 190,000
members spread across the
country, the Amalgamated
Transit Union is the largest
union representing transit
