When you think in terms of asking members to resign, you propose to give them a roman holiday. The suspension with pay doesnt go far enough, he says. I dont believe giving paid vacations, paid holidays punishes him in any way, shape, or form. The Senate President pro tem told reporters with the stunning arrest of San Francisco senator lelan

Late last night, katy perry fired up the crowd before the president took the stage in las vegas, where he pushed his message of moving forward and criticized his republican rivals policies as backwardlooking. Meanwhile, governor romney stoked his supporters in iowa with attacks on the president s economic agenda. They have been unable to lay out an agenda for what theyre going to do to help america.
