Draggingtree Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Legal Insurrection : Veto Threat: Obama waves his mighty pen over Zika funding bill!Posted by Leslie Eastman Friday, June 24, 2016 at 8:00am Democrats are clearly more interested in gun control than mosquito control. While Democratic members of Congress built a pillow fort on the floor of the House to oppose gun rights, the Republicans continued their work on behalf of the American people. At about 1 am on Thursday, while drowned out by cries of “Shame! Shame! Shame!” from Democrats and partially blocked from C-SPAN’s cameras by protest signs, Ryan held some procedural votes on when the House would reconvene to vote on emergency funding to address the Zika virus. The votes were held at 2:30 am, and the Zika bill passed. The need for a robust response to Zika is becoming more evident each day, as reports of more outbreaks in this country continue to mount. In the Dallas area, ten pregnant women are showing signs of being infected with the pathogen (which can cause significant birth defects). Dallas County Health and Human Services said Tuesday that there are nearly a dozen total cases in North Texas, CBS Dallas-Fort Worth reported, but none were contracted in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
