CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Senate Republicans voted on Monday to block consideration of the Buffet Rule which would ensure that billionaires pay more in taxes than their secretaries and other average working class Americans.

A CNN poll released on the very same day showed that 72% of Americans support the measure, including 53% of Republicans. This, coming on the heels of a Gallop poll released last week which showed that 63% of independent voters are in favor of the Buffet Rule.

In the face of such broad bipartisan support among the American people, Republicans would not even allow the Senate to debate the rule let alone vote on it.

Clearly, congressional Republicans are out of touch with the American people including a majority of voters in their own party.

In November they will no longer be out of touch, they will just be out.

GUNS KILL PEOPLE - DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU OTHERWISE!

One school shooting after another, it's endless. Yet, Republicans across this country keep passing laws that not only make it easier to get guns but to specifically require them to be permitted to be carried on school grounds including, in many instances, kindergartens and nursery schools. What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with the people who keep electing them?
