A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.
Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?
The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it
