April 29th, 2009
BLACKSBURG – Brian Moran made the following statement about the first 100 days of President Obama’s administration.

He has received the endorsement of Black Women United for Obama, a national network of African-American Women. Students for Moran is hosting a Salute to President Obama’s first 100 days this evening.
“President Barack Obama’s first hundred days have been a testament to the type of leadership Virginia and America needs: A steady hand in times of crisis and an honest voice in the face of a broken politics. I was proud to campaign for President Obama and help rally Virginia to his side.
The last 100 days have proven that elections matters. President Obama has successfully changed the direction of our country, managed the national security crisis, passed a sweeping economic recovery package to put people back to work, and changed Washington into a place that works for people.
This election was a milestone for our nation and proved, once again, that everyone can put their hands to the arc of history and ‘bend it toward the hope of a brighter day.’ Americans want a progressive vision with hope and optimism and a leader to put them first, and that’s what they have with President Obama. After 100 days in office, I think we can successfully say ‘Yes We Did!’”
Students for Moran hosts a salute to President Obama’s first 100 days at Twist Restaurant, 25 Wythe Creek Road in Hampton, 6 – 8 p.m. this evening.
Brian Moran has a 20-year record of fighting for the people of Virginia. He was Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus and a Delegate from Alexandria City and Fairfax County. Prior to that, he served as a prosecutor in Arlington County.
