Defend its views as does the right to life. That is the way our system operates. And Campaign Finances reform is about lower the limits, restrict the speech, restrict the speech and what happens is the only is e who can win election incumbent politicians because they have those that raise the money and any challenger has to raise the money. If you dont have an army of thousands and thousands of buppedlers you cannot effectively challenge an incumbent. That is not the unintended effect of these laws, that is the intended effect. We have super pacs that are speaking on the sidelines and you have politicians who play games. They speak since they cannot speak directly under the law they will say who will rid me of this trouble some clerk. If a group is supporting you, you hope what they say bears some resemblance of what you believe but you cant talk to them so if they get it wrong, there is nothing you can do.

It did not take long for the conversation to shift to eric cantors loss in virginia to who would replace him as the number two. Kevin mccarthy, the republican from california. Pete going against sessions. He is not part of the leadership right now. He is making the case that a red state republican from the state of texas needs to have a seat at the leadership table.

So in order to make up the shortfall in its energy supplies, jeremy restarted coal plants and they arent the only ones. Austria, italy, and the netherlands are all resurrecting coal as gas supplies dwindled. So despite europe, finger wagging a china and india for not cutting Carbon Emissions enough, theyre actually now in the same boat as Clean Energy Tech is simply not mature enough to supply all of the excess demand.
