Issues of concern, i think we have to act immediately and i think that we can be successful. But in the meantime, the very least the republicans would do is to pass the no fly, no buy. And im pleased to yield to the distinguished whip, mr. Hoyer. Mr. Hoyer thank you very much, madam leader. First, we need to empathize with the fear that the Lgbt Community is experiencing right now. Unfortunately, today we are going to adopt a rule which precludes the expression of congress that we will not discriminate against those who are lgbt members. How sad.

That conversation. Steve senator bob corker, republican from tennessee. When did you first think about moving from business to politics . Sen.

I was doing that as a civic endeavor and i was asked to serve at the state level and i ended up going on a real board, if you will, at the state level. It just sort of migrated.
