The Affordable Care act. The chances of a peaceful outcome on all these fronts appears weak or remotely foreseeable. But to the election of their own districts. A Strong Majority of those districts voted against barack obama in november. Even as the overall population voted for him. And this, i believe, is the cruel arithmetic that drives the divide in todays american politics. While the big city has given the president the majority and mandate, the district by district vote in rural areas has given the republicans their mandate. The vote against obama and the Health Care Act that will join him in the history books. I make one prediction tonight. And even this is based on a hypothetical.

A pathway to citizenship is contingent on first securing the border. By immediately adding new surveillance technology, think drones, more Border Patrol agents. The proposal would al
As for the assault weapons ban in particular, i think he said it on sunday in plarticular, i know he believes this needs to come to a vote. And he believes it should come to a vote. Also, today, a bipartisan gun trafficking bill is gaining more republican support. Three republicans join three democrats getting behind the alreadybipartisan gun trafficking act. The gun makes its illegal to buy a gun and transfer it to someone who cant pass a background check. Democrats and republicans working together on gun safety. This is progress. Also today, more signs of fighting the nra, the gun lobby. A group of celebrity activists coming to capitol hill, calling for congress to act now. Theyre part of the group and this is a demand they continued to make as part of the plank.
