Facebook Posts About Gun Control

A friend in Texas writes...

Remember the newspaper in the Northeast that published a map identifying addresses of all gun owners in that area? Apparently efforts were made to duplicate that in the State of Texas and I received a map showing where each gun owner lives in the Lone Star State. Each red dot represents one address. Apparently it was a bigger task than they could handle.

Many Texans adamantly defend their right to bear arms...

IDENTIFYING GUN OWNERS IN YOUR STATE (from a friend of mine in Texas)

The American Dream in Peril

According to CNN today:

In accepting a second term as Speaker of the House, John Boehner says the debt is holding back economic growth and imperiling the American Dream.

"The American Dream is in peril so long as its namesake is weighed down by this anchor of debt. Break its hold, and we begin to set our economy free. Jobs will come home. Confidence will come back," Boehner said. "We do this not just to boost GDP or reduce unemployment, but to secure for our children a future of freedom and opportunity. Nothing is more important."

Of the 234 members of Boehner’s caucus, 220 voted for him. Several conservative members who were unhappy because Boehner failed to hold a hard line in the fiscal cliff talks either voted for other candidates or didn’t vote at all.
