House and senate. The 113th congress is convening for the first time. The gavels came down moments ago, all reelected and newly elected officers take the oath of office. There were 97 freshman, 84 in the house, 13 in the senate. While republicans still control the house, democrats gained seats in both chambered, two more in the senate, eight more in the house.

Security, they need to say this would be devastating. How can we enforce any law . Please dont do this. I dont th
