Voter ID, which is going to allow Mitt Romney to win the State of Pennsylvania, done.

If we can't all vote, if we can't all fully participate, then we are not a true democracy.

The chaos and confusion which ensued from that piece of legislation until it was overturned as unconstitutional was costly to people.

If the consequences remain for the consumer, then they shouldn't have to pay for protecting their information.

When you took the initiative to track menstrual cycles, which your deposition reveals...

Isn't it true you instructed your staff to prevent minors seeking abortion from meeting with attorneys?
