yes the republicans are still reaching out in their own special way, telling Gay couples you are still not in their eyes full Americans and thereby are not privy to "THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS".
BRATTLEBORO -- In some ways, U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy acknowledged that he was singing a familiar tune on Wednesday.Vermont's senior senator again proposed legislation that would allow U.S. citizens to sponsor their foreign, same-sex partners for green cards. It is the sixth Congress in which that bill has been introduced.But a Leahy spokesman said the Democrat this year hopes to attach his measure to the upcoming immigration-reform effort. And Leahy cited shifting attitudes regarding same-sex benefits in the U.S. and worldwide, saying it is time for a change in how immigration officials treat gay and lesbian couples."Among developed countries with cultures of respect for human rights and fairness, the United States policy in this regard is not living up to our great traditions of equal treatment under the law," Leahy said.
like compromise or help the poor or save the middle class equal is not in their vocabulary, this is their country to take back, it's also our country and we say bring it!! 2014 for millions of Americans will be our real independence day Nov. 4th.
"We can and should do better," he added. "I hope all senators will agree that the United States should not have a policy that forces Americans to choose between their country and the ones they love."
the republicans run around ranting how this is the greatest country the world has ever know, except for all the things they are against puts us at the bottom of the list, we are no longer that land of milkn and honey and the sky's the limit all because of the right wing and it's misdirected loyalties. if i coulda, woulda shoulda if we take charge 2014 will be "YES WE CAN".
