Libraries dating back to herbert hoover. All of which, on thursday, released a joint statement calling for a recommitment to the countrys bedrock principles, including the rule of law and respecting a diversity of beliefs. Cant save us enough. This is an unprecedented move from the group. Never before had the president ial libraries engaged so directly in political affairs.

Arthel lets take a listen. This is still a work in progress. Though the leader of the United States senate is very good at establishing coalitions to see that legislation passes.
