Yesterday on the floor of the Senate Democratic senators chris murphy, patty murray and Richard Blumenthal called on Senate Lawmakers to agree to half past gun background check legislations. Republican senator Cindy Hyde Smith objected. Heres a look. I think senator murphy and blumenthal for their tremendous leadership we are on the floor to speak about.

These are teachers that often put in 10, 11, 12hour days. And theres issues there with still being motivated to continue to put many years in teaching.

You know, it whats so fascinating, he says its all on barack obama when barack obama is president of the United States. And if its not on barack obama, then he suggests it maybe people might look at the person who is running the senate or running the house.
