for Sale of Catholic Hospitals | FactCheck.org

Republicans are claiming the new health care law is a “main reason”

 and weaken workplace safety and collective bargaining laws rules. That’s just the short list.

 Most of these local taxes require voter approval.

I only have the one and she’s a rescue so it’s O.K.
So goes the party line regarding my cat. Five years ago,
 her pregnant mother was abandoned and locked in a warehouse
 in North Carolina where she gave birth to a small litter of kittens.
 For days, the kittens survived without food or water before being discovered
 by a friend who knew exactly where the pictures should be sent.
By the next week, I had a gray tabby with snowcapped paws 
peering at me from the laundry basket in the closet
