Missouris second congressional district. As a firsttime candidate, i do a lot of listening. For all of the fear that i hear out there, the one thing that i hear most often is we can do better. It is what our parents taught us. I remember watching mind twill morning, noon, and at night. I saw my father deal with every take the government through his way, whether it had to do with the signs on the front of the building or the prices on the showroom floor. He knew that he could do better if government would just get out of the way it and stay out of the way. And he was right. When we get government off the backs of our job creators, Small Businesses have a better chance of thriving. And when Small Businesses thrive, so does our economy. That is why instead of raising taxes, we ought to fix our 72,000 page monstrosity of a tax code, so we can keep jobs here and bring jobs home that have gone overseas. We should repeal the president S Health Care law, which makes it harder for Small Busines
What a big deal it is. Reddit doesnt seem much like first glance. If anything the website is like the oldtime Bulletin Boards you see in the days of compuserve or usenet. But in fact, reddit is so big, president obama is a reddit user. The site, part of the conde naft publishing empire. One posting a down on his luck musician, holding an appeal for help inspired reddit users to take action. Theyre raising funds to help blues man Lester Chambers who said he was cheated by the Record Companies go back into the studio to record a new album. The driving force behind that effort is reddit cofounder alexis ohanian. An outspoken critic. Business insider called him one of the superheroes of the internet. All of a sudden, i see reddit everywhere. The growth kev must be tremendous four. It has been pretty significant. But it hasnt been that sort of hockey stick growth. Its been really steady. It grows every week. Its not brandnew. A lot of people think it is. That was a big day for us. You notic
Going home for commit nothing crime. Thats the bottom line. And so after 56 witnesses,ings 12 days of testimony, and 16 hours of deliberation, the jury in the case of the state of florida versus George Zimmerman came back with a verdict. In the Circuit Court of the 18th judicial circuit in and for seminole county, florida, state of florida versus George Zimmerman, verdict, we the jury find George Zimmerman not guilty. Some called it shocking. Others said it was entirely predictable. But for defense attorney don west, it was simply long overdue justice. I think the prosecution of George Zimmerman was disgraceful. I am gratified by the jurys verdict as happy as i am for George Zimmerman, im thrilled that this jury kept this tragedy from becoming a travesty. But it makes me sad, too. That it took this long under these circumstances to finally get justice. As George Zimmerman was acquitted, lawyers for the parents of Trayvon Martin said that though their sons life was cut short, his story

But as we noticed today, there are no votes on the United States congress and the house of representatives today. We also agree, and emphasize this again, as did Gene Sperling everyone, and we mean everyone, should get 250,000 ineveryone and so that means that even billionaires get that first 250,000. And everyone is in agreement the republicans do not want to see the middle class go without this tax cut. So where we disagree, let us push that off. Where we agree, lets embrace. Further, we discussed again the long term effects of our deficit, which are directly tied to health care the work that has been done in the congress as it relates to constructing and exchange that will take place in 2014 and go into effect, and the tools that we provided a initially on a concept that by its very nature was one designed by republicans, that there is ample room for us to tackle the unbelievable rise in cost of health care to 17 of our Gross Domestic Product by focusing on dropping those costs.
