Carly Fiorina, GOP Candidate for President
GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, released video after mainstream media challenged her statement at the second GOP primary debate on undercover Planned Parenthood murder and profiteering videos with a fetus still alive, heart beating and legs kicking, before being dissected.
In the CNN presidential debate September 16, Fiorina said, “[A]nyone who has watched this videotape, I dare, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says, ‘we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’ This is about the character of our nation, and if we will not stand up and force President Obama to veto this bill, shame on us.”
Washington, D.C. – Friday, U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), a senior member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), EPW Chairman Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), and five senior EPW members sent a letter to Gina McCarthy, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), regarding recent reports of planned mass hires in light of the Agency’s vulnerable hiring practices.
“It appears EPA has made little progress in getting ‘its house’ in order since the John Beale scandal, and the Agency may be vulnerable to greater abuses through recently-planned mass hires,” wrote the Senators. “We question the integrity of your Agency’s reasoning behind hiring the equivalent of 30 new employees each business day, ostensibly to inflate your staffing levels before the congressional appropriations process, which is concerning considering the Agency’s failure to revise and correct its hiring practices.”

Sen. Rob Standridge
Sen. Rob Standridge (R-Norman) announced today he will not allow a bill requiring vaccines for school kids to be heard. Standridge is the Chairman of the Senate Health and Human Services committee, he declined to hear the same bill last session, and has no new information causing him to reconsider.
“Although I have had my children vaccinated, and believe some vaccinations are true life-savers, I believe vaccinations work best when parents and communities are educated by health professionals, not the government,” says Standridge. “As a health professional, I encourage parents to vaccinate their children, but I stop short as a legislator in mandating them to do so.”
