For July 21, 2014
Could Elizabeth Warren Face Ted Cruz In 2016?Should the Democrats nominate Elizabeth Warren for President in 2016, as a draft-Warren movement, some liberal pundits and enthusiasts at this week’s Netroots Nation convention believe?

The protest flows from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department shutting off water to customers that don’t pay their bills, So far this year, Detroit’s water utility has shut off water to 17,000 customers.

By opposing fracking, Udall and Hickenlooper risk alienating swing voters; by supporting it, they will alienate their most dedicated voters. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
