My Republican Friends Are Lamenting

It Is No Surprise That The Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee Has Once Again Caved In To The Wishes Of The White House And Refused Even To Open An Investigation. We Cannot Effectively Legislate On The Nsa Spying Issue If We Do Not Know The Facts, And We Will Not Know Them If The Republican-controlled Intelligence Committee Persists In Refusing To Do Its Job.

I Was Born And Raised In The High Desert Of Nevada In A Tiny Town Called Searchlight. My Dad Was A Hard Rock Miner. My Mom Took In Wash. I Grew Up Around People Of Strong Values - Even If They Rarely Talked About Them.

We Can Move America Forward With A Strong Middle Class. We Can Move America Forward With A Strong Democratic Majority In The Senate. And Together We Can Move America Forward With Barack Obama In The White House.

My Republican Friends Are Lamenting Reconciliation. But I Would Recommend For Them To Go Back And Look At History.

This 21st Century Economy Holds Great Promise For Our People. But Unless We Give All Americans The Skills They Need To Succeed, Countries Like India And China Will Take Good-paying Jobs That Should Be Ours.
