Tony Perkins Family Research Council Yesterday, the blog Joe. My.

The site posted three screencaps from the Family Research Council s lobbying report; they suggest $25,000 was spent on lobbying what FRC described as Res.1064Ugandan ResolutionPro-homosexual promotion. Asked of the organization had indeed lobbied to kill the resolution, FRC provided Hotsheet with a statement calling claims that they had lobbied against the resolution inaccurate. The Tony Perkins-led FRC said it did lobby on the bill, but not to kill it - rather to change the language it contained and to remove sweeping and inaccurate assertions that homosexual stanley quencher con stanley cup price duct is internationally recognized as a fundamental human right. FRC did not lobby against or oppose passage of the congressional resolution, the group said. FRC s efforts, at the request of Congressional offices, were limited to seeking changes in the language of proposed drafts of the resolution, in order to make it more factually accurate regarding the content of the Uganda bill. FRC does not support the Uganda bill, and does not support the death penalty for homosexuality - nor any other

WASHINGTON -- The Democratic Partyrsquo model is failing, and if voter turnout doesnrsquo;t grow there is no future forward for the Democratic Party, said Sen.

After coming closer than at any time in more than 200 years to giving residents of the District of Columbia full representation in Congress, House Democrats have pulled the plug and given up trying to pass the bill this year.House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer said he was profoundly disappointed that the 600,000 residents of the nation s capitol will remain without a voting representative in Congress, but said they will have to give up their effort to pass the measure.And the reason, oddly enough, traces back to the NRA. A compromise was reached last year to give Washington residents a vote in Congress by also providing another congressional seat for Utah. Utah came very close in the last census to picking up another representative and its population has continued to grow. So by expanding the House by two seats, one for D.C. and on stanley cup e for Utah, the partisan balance between Democrats and Republicans could be maintained.

President Barack Obama meets with S stanley drink bottle olicitor General Elena Kagan in the Oval Office last month. White House Photo by Pete Souza President Obama s decision to tap Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court, as we reported last night, makes clear he was thinking strategically about the Court this time around. Unlike his selection last year of Sonia Sotomayor, Kagan is not an overtly political pick -- she will be something of a fight with Republicans, she doesn t appease the liberal base, she s not a Washington outsider and she doesn t bring ethnic or racial diversity.What she brings is intellectual heft and a keen analytical mind, with a proven track record of consensus building. This is a pick that shows the president is thinking long-term. At 50, Kagan could serve on the Court for a generation and become one of its most effective voices on the Left. She was the frontrunner from the beginning, and this nomination was hers to lose. Bob Schieffer reminded me this morning t starbucks stanley cup hat I made two predictions on the very first Face the Nation of 2010.

Qoff A Conversation With Joe Trippi
WASHINGTON -- The top official of the Department of Veterans Affairs say stanley termohrnek s the agency has lost the trust of veterans and the American people as a result of widespread treatment delays for people seeking health care and falsified records to cover up those delays.Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson says the agency has created an environment where workers are afraid to raise concerns or offer suggestions for fear of retaliation and has failed to hold employees accountable for wrongdoing.Gibson told a Senate committee Wednesday he is committed to restoring the trust of veterans and the American people. We understand the seriousness of the problems we face. We own them, Gibson said in his testimony. We re taking decisive action to begin to resolve them. We must, all of us, seize this opportunity. I believe that in as little as two years, the conversation can change. Gibson took over as acting secretary May 30 after VA Secretary Eric Shinseki was forced to resign amid a growing uproar over treatment delays and other problems at VA hospitals and clinics nationwide. Since taking charge of the VA, Gibson said he has worked to expand private health care for v stanley polska eterans who need access, begun the process of holding people responsible for falsifying records, held meeting stanley cups uk s with stakeholder groups, and signaled to all VA employees that the agency will not retaliate against whistle blowers.
