Forced birth in a country with:

May we not just grieve, but give:
May we not just ache, but act;
May our signed right to bear arms

Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

True tax rate for the 25 richest people in the United States: 3.4%
Average tax rate for a nurse: 24%
You know what? A nurse should not pay more in income tax than a billionaire. How's that for a radical idea?
The Child Interrogation Act is an essential bill to create a more just justice system. Thanks to all working to pass this legislation - this is the year!! @jillpcarter@DelBartlett32
