Teapublicans Call Emergency Session to Defund NPR

In my opinion, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is a true up-and-comer in the Democratic Party. His biting sarcasm of the stupidity of Republican causes and the courage to not stand down gives me hope for Democrats moving forward. Here he takes Republicans to task for calling an emergency session to defund NPR, based on creepy fright-wing, Allen Funt wannabe, James O'Keefe's heavily edited video. Even Glenn Beck's website, The Blaze said NPR representative Ron Schiller did nothing controversial, but the video was edited so heavily, it made him look guilty of saying things he never said, nor implied. If even Beck's website called him out, you know it's bad. Faux Newz as a whole, on the other hand are probably having orgy.
We need more like Weiner and fewer like Evan Bayh (D-IN) who vacated his senate office last year because Washington "had became too partisan" --- so he joined "fair and balanced"
Faux Newz. I'm not kidding.

Heroes Defending Social Security

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) introduced legislation Tuesday that would safeguard Social Security, the most successful and reliable federal program in our nation's history. Sanders' legislation would require Congress to muster extraordinary majorities if it intended to approve any reduction in Social Security benefits. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) will introduce the legislation in the House.

Sen. Sanders was joined by U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), along with Rep. Weiner at a Capitol Hill press conference yesterday to rally support for Sanders' proposal to protect Social Security. Here stands some of the few US politicians that aren't bought. This group demonstrates why we need campaign finance reform. We need more politicians who listen to the people, like these heroes.
