Kent Williams removed. Good idea, bad move
February 9, 2009 | 3 Comments
As much as I agree that Kent had to be removed, there should have been some care with it. There is a void among voters about all the info around this in The tri-cities. The inside story has not been addressed there is a void of GOP information and the news outlets here are filling [...]

Way to go, not that we aren’t used to it. When Sen. Robert Byrd has more backbone than you there is a problem. Please someone run against this man next term.

Florida’s junior senator, Republican Mel Martinez, called on his Senate colleagues today to reinstate a policy that prohibits U.S. tax dollars from going to international organizations responsible for performing and promoting abortions.
During the debate on reauthorizing the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), Martinez offered an amendment to reinstate the policy. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 37 to 60.
“The core of this argument is whether U.S. taxpayers ought to be forced to fund efforts abroad that utilize abortion as a means of family planning,” said Martinez. “If we want to continue fostering a culture of life, where every life is considered sacred, every child is celebrated, and life at all stages is given the dignity it deserves, then we will reinstate this policy.”
The Mexico City Policy was first implemented in 1984 under President Ronald Reagan. President Obama rescinded the policy Friday.
