QUERY : Why did Richard Hanna (R-NY-22) vote Against John Kline’s pet legislation ? John Kline (R-MN-02) has made a big deal out of H.

A Shakopee Mom and Dad are having a difficult time balancing work and family. They feel time spent with their children — something we all dearly covet and our kids direly need — is harder to come by.

Mike Obermueller had a simple message in his 2012 campaign for the Second Congressional District … “there’s way too much waste” and “both parties are to blame” were the prominent lines from his “Washington Pizza” campaign commercial. His assessment — “I believe both parties are wrong.” His second commercial “Numbers”, which had been FactChecked and [...]
Aphorism : “The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results.” Donna Cassata pens a piece for the Associated Press : Listen up, voters, you’re the boss.
