A New Morning in America

Hello from Room H-122 in the Capitol. Joe and I are pleased to welcome you to AMERICAblog's coverage of today's swearing in of the 110th Congress. It's a truly monumental day for our country, with the swearing in the first woman to hold the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Over the next few hours Joe and I will be interviewing some of the new and returning Members of Congress. We'll be asking them about how they plan on implementing America's priorities on national security and Iraq, economic priorities such as raising the minimum wage, and tackling health care. Today is a great opportunity to meet our country's new leaders. We'll have ample open threads so check back and join in the celebration.
