Democrats Finally Admitting Obamacare is Bad 12/13/12 From the Washington Examiner: Sixteen Democratic senators who voted for the Affordable Care Act are asking that one of its fundraising mechanisms, a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices scheduled to take effect January 1, be delayed. Echoing arguments made by Republicans against Obamacare, the Democratic senators say the levy will cost jobs — in a statement Monday, Sen. Al Franken called it a “job-killing tax” — and also impair American competitiveness in the medical device field. The senators, who made the request in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are Franken, Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer, Patty Murray, John Kerry, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, Joseph Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Robert Casey, Debbie Stabenow, Barbara Mikulski, Kay Hagan, Herb Kohl, Jeanne Shaheen, and Richard Blumenthal.

Video on msnbc.com: Rachel Maddow notes that at John Brennan's confirmation hearing to head the CIA, Republicans asked him questions about leaks and releasing too much information and Democrats focused on the CIA being more forthcoming with information.

I'm pretty sure that the GOP has absolutely bo intentions what so ever to attempt to Have our government function in good faith.

CBB, Pam Benson John Brennan came well-prepared Thursday and held his own during questioning at his Senate confirmation hearing to become the 21st director of the Central Intelligence Agency. It was in stark contrast to what was considered by many as an ill-prepared, lethargic performance by defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel at his confirmation hearing last week." "Brennan agreed with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, that Americans need to have a full understanding of government rules involving the use of armed drones to conduct targeted killings against American citizens overseas who are considered senior operational leaders of al Qaeda or one of its affiliates. "I have been a strong proponent of trying to be as open as possible with these programs as far as our explaining what we're doing," Brennan said. "So what we need to do is make sure we explain to the American people what the thresholds for action, what are the procedures, the practices, the processes, the approvals, the reviews." He suggested this h ...

This is a critical time for the future of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and we need you to act today. We are fortunate in Maryland that both of our Senators are strong supporters and we want them to know we appreciate everything they do to end sexual violence and that we are 100% behind this bill. The motion to proceed to VAWA passed the Senate yesterday and we just heard that they will vote today, Thursday, February 7. Please call our Senators now to urge them to vote YES on S. 47 without amendments. Call Senator Barbara Mikulski at (202) 224-4654. Call Senator Ben Cardin at (202) 224-4524. Say: “I am a constituent from (city) in Maryland and my name is _. I want to thank Senator {either Mikulski or Cardin} for all of their work to end sexual violence. I’m calling to ask for her/him to vote yes on S. 47, a strong, bipartisan bill that would reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act – and to oppose any amendments that are introduced.

These Senators voted against As such, they are likely up to speed on what is really going on in our government. Start here.

WASHINGTON — Congressional Democrats, sensing a shift in political momentum, said Wednesday that they were closing in on legislation to temporarily head off deep across-the-board spending cuts, convinced that once federal furloughs and layoffs begin next month, political pressure on Republicans to accept more tax increases will become irresistible. At a closed-door retreat in Annapolis, Md., this week, Senate Democratic leaders struck a populist tone, urging the party to stand its ground in the battle over nearly $1 trillion in military and domestic cuts over 10 years, set to begin March 1. Democrats want a temporary reprieve from those cuts, financed by a mix of spending cuts and tax loophole closings that they believe will rally public support. A presentation by Senator Patty Murray of Washington, who spoke along with Senators Max Baucus of Montana and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, ran through the huge income gains of the richest 1 percent, amid rising poverty and stagnating middle-class incomes. “D ...

This is the fastest HUD has allocated CDBG funding to grantees following the passage of a funding bill. “It is critical for HUD to make this funding available as quickly as possible so families can begin rebuilding and repairing their homes and small businesses can get back on their feet,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, who also chairs the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force established by President Obama in December. “We continue to focus on providing funding ...

Dear Mr. Freeman: Thank you for getting in touch with me to express your opposition to the Assault Weapons Ban. I appreciate hearing from you. I support the second amendment rights of Marylanders who enjoy hunting or who have firearms to protect themselves. Yet, I strongly believe that assault weapons do not belong on our streets and are a threat to communities across our nation. Eliminating such powerful weapons from the streets will help reduce violent crimes, including crimes against law enforcement officers. Several law enforcement organizations including the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Women in Federal Law Enforcement, and the Police Foundation have supported this ban. I want you to know that my support for limited and common sense gun control, like the Assault Weapons Ban, does not diminish my support for Second Amendment rights. Again, thanks for contacting me. Please let me know if I can be of any help ...

My fellow 2nd amendment brothers. Please make sure to send multiple letters and emails to Barbara Mikulski, she along with O'malley and their anti-gun party want to take away our ARs and limit our mags. Please get on their site and contact them. I am currently emailing her back and telling her how ridiculous this legislation is as she just told me "powerful" assault weapons should be banned. Keep in mind legislation is going to be heard tomorrow at 1pm

Three cheers for the Baltimore Ravens who have brought the Lombardi Trophy back to Baltimore! They won the AFC Championship and now they have taken the Super Bowl. Baltimore is a world-class city with world-class fans. We had the momentum going in and our Ravens stomped all over the 49ers! Today’s win is a fitting tribute to the career of Ray Lewis. The Ravens are flying high and I look forward to welcoming them back to Baltimore to celebrate their victory!

Rosa's Law is a United States law which replaces several instances of "mental retardation" in law with "intellectual disability." The bill was introduced as S.2781 in the United States Senate on November 17, 2009 by Barbara Mikulski (D-MD). It passed the Senate unanimously on August 5, 2010, then the House of Representatives on September 22, and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on October 5.[1] The law is named for Rosa Marcellino, a girl with Down Syndrome who was nine years old when it became law, and who, according to President Barack Obama, "worked with her parents and her siblings to have the words 'mentally retarded' officially removed from the health and education code in her home state of Maryland."

ATTENTION: Freedom-loving Minnesotans & other interested people (it should be ALL of you!) The anti-gun people in your state have started a bold and “ballsy” assault on your Second Amendment freedoms with the introduction of a bill in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The bill was authored by Representatives Hausman, Hornstein, Simonson, Davnie and Slocum.

All my life women have said, "If I ran the Country". It made me think what if they did. Some may want there mother to take care of them , to wash their soxs, bring them lunch and take care of their boo boo's. Not me, I'd like to think that I have done pretty good by learning those things from mom and improving on them. The truth is Women do run the Country. Perhaps you have heard their names. Maxine Waters, Barbara Mikulski, Barbara Boxer, Sheila Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi and don't forget Diane Feinstrein. They all want to be your mothers. They feel you might shoot your eye out, drop a bullet laden clip with 9 or more bullets in it on your foot or place your AR down to hard and knock the sights off. Yes, momma is in the Congress and she ain't baking cookies. No, momma's busy trying to selectively burn the Constitution. Do you really think Momma can run the country better...No, only equal to the girly men that are the Congress.

Today, women make just 77 cents for every dollar made by a man for equal work, about $434,000 over their careers. Sponsors of the reintroduced Paycheck Fairness Act, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), say the proposed bill will help close that gap. The pair has introduced the bill several times in recent years, but Republicans have been able to block action on the bill, most recently last summer with a Senate filibuster. Mikulski says that four years after the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed into law, It's time to finish the job and stop wage discrimination from happening in the first place. Equal pay is not just for our pocketbooks, it's about family checkbooks and getting it right in the law books. The Paycheck Fairness Act ensures that women will no longer be fighting on their own for equal pay for equal work. The bill would strengthen penalties that courts may impose for equal pay violations and prohibit retaliation against workers who inquire about or disclose info ...

Dec 13 2012 Senators Push to Retain Bipartisan Amendments Combating Sexual Assault in the Military WASHINGTON, D.C.-- A bipartisan group of Senators, led by Olympia J Snowe (R-Maine) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota), today urged the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senators Carl Levin (D-Michigan) and John McCain (R-Arizona), to retain a number of bipartisan amendments to the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that seek to combat sexual assault in the military as the legislation heads to conference. Joined by Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine), Kirsten E. Gillibrand (D-New York), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and Barbara Mikulski (D-Maryland), the Senators noted their strong support for the measures as violence in the military continues to occur at an alarming rate.

That little roly-poly lady next to President Obama is one of my senators from the great State of Maryland, Barbara Mikulski, the senior female in the "upper house." She is a character!

From The Atlantic: "With likely or already-assured wins tonight for Elizabeth Warren (MA), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Mazie Hirono (HI), and Deb Fischer (NE), the senate is on a path to have 19 female senators for the first time in history. They join senators Amy Klobuchar (MN), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Debbie Stabenow (MI), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Barbara Boxer (CA), Mary Landrieu (LA), Susan Collins (ME), Barbara Mikulski (MD), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Kelly Ayotte (NH), Kay Hagan (NC), Patty Murray (WA), Dianne Feinstein (CA), Claire McCaskill (MO), and Maria Cantwell (WA).

Help! I'm drowning in a sea of Democrats, & I can't get out. I get emails DAILY from Joe Biden, James Carville, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton, Patty Murray, Barbara Mikulski, Donna Brazile, John Kerry, Carl Levin, Al Franken, Paul Begala, Harry Reid, Kirsten Gillibrand, Madeleine Albright, & even the President & First Lady themselves, Barack & Michelle Obama.

Attn Democratic Party, Republican party, Tea Party, Green Party, 99% party, wedding party, birthday party, party of the first part, third party, search party, slumber party, party pooper & any & every other party, let it be hereby announced that I will not support ANY party who keeps spamming me. Thank you.

Listening to Barbara Mikulski cackle over decision today disgusted me. She reminds me of Prof. Umbridge. Toad.

I am not anywhere close to as annoyed about the decision on Obamacare as I am annoyed hearing Barbara Mikulski touting it.

Immediately after the Paycheck Fairness Act failed to get enough votes to avoid a filibuster in the Senate today, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), clearly fed up, gave a rousing speech aimed at women across the country who are equally angry at being under-paid and treated as unequal citizens. Taking th...

Barbara Mikulski is SUCH a badass lady. Watch:

Video on msnbc.com: MSNBC's Alex Wagner talks with Sen. Barbara Mikulski about the Paycheck Fairness Act and the question of whether or not lawmakers are protecting the rights of those who actually put them into office.

Paycheck Fairness Act Bill up for Vote today in Senate --- This pretty much sums it up: "American women are mad as *** " said Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, the Democrats' chief sponsor of the bill. Women earn 77 cents to the dollar for their male counterparts -- 18 cents more than in 1963, when President Johnson signed into law the Equal Pay Act.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY UPDATES Paycheck Fairness Act Reintroduced in Senate The Senate will vote June 5 on AAUW priority legislation the Paycheck Fairness Act (S. 3220), which Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) reintroduced this week with a new bill number to bypass the committee process and go straight to the Senate floor. The bill contains the same content as legislation that fell victim to arcane Senate rules two years ago. AAUW Director of Public Policy and Government Relations Lisa Maatz spoke at a press conference with Sen. Mikulski, other Democratic senators, and coalition partners to urge swift passage of the legislation. Maatz told attendees that the pay gap cannot be explained by women’s choices. "A woman is far more likely to spend her last years in poverty simply because the pay gap actually starts the minute she throws her graduate cap in the air,” Maatz said. AAUW has been on the frontlines of the pay equity battle for decades, issuing its first of several research reports on the wage gap ...

Indeed! "Women of America, square your shoulders, put your lipstick on, suit up and let's close that wage gap" - Barbara Mikulski"

Maryland senator Barbara Mikulski just announced that Democrats will be bringing up a pay equity bill after Memorial Day, sometime in June. The thing is, Congress already passed pay equity legislation, and President Obama signed that bill into law--the Lilly Ledbetter Act--in January 2009.

Voting to define marriage as between one man and one woman makes such a person a bigot? Well then. Here are some well-known liberal bigots then: Bill Clinton, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Tom Harkin, Barbara Mikulski, Paul Wellstone, Harry Reid, Bill Bradley, John Glenn, Tom Daschle, Patty Murray, Jay Rockefeller, Max Baucus, among many others. These people all voted for (or in Clinton's case, signed into law) the 1996 DOMA federal definition of marriage as being one man and one woman. None of them, btw, are from North Carolina.

Tonight was my official "coming out party" ...the annual Maryland Democratic Gala. I was introduced by Governor O'Malley, Steny Hoyer, Barbara Mikulski, on and on... rubbing elbows with the most powerful on the hill. Steny made a wonderful speech about my role as a national leader in the Made in America movement. It was really touching... I almost got teary. Note to self...tomorrow buy waterproof mascara! I'll post photos soon as I get them.
