Healthcare Mandate BUSTED
So I was looking at the KOS and saw an interesting Q and A

Revolution
Today the protests in Iran got worse, much worse, 10 more people killed by the government, they’ve imposed martial law in several places.

Health Care Woes

Nelson, 68, is a longtime abortion opponent. His amendment to tighten restrictions on federal funding for abortion was struck down in the Senate on [...]

Earlier, Obama shredded his prepared schedule a few minutes after landing in Copenhagen Friday, racing from the airport to an emergency [...]
