    I'm not going to pretend I can fix everything. But what do we think of the new fundraising system? 

     

    When I was considering rejoining the game the past couple weeks, the complexity of the Orbit system was one of the things holding me back. I like the new system for being more straightforward. I'm also one of the people who doesn't much like fundraising so I prefer to keep it simple.

  2. @LincolnHawthorne: If the Broussard administration wants to reduce health care costs on a bipartisan basis, the first step will have to be abandoning this talk of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act.

     

    @LincolnHawthorne: StormCare has provided health care coverage to millions of Americans, and Republicans have yet to produce a plan that will ensure everyone covered keeps their coverage. The campaign is over, it's time to responsibly govern.

  5. @Halcyon Would you be willing to do one for me? Just something simple that incorporates Kraft (or Jonas Kraft if the last name is too short), Senate Majority Leader from Nebraska will be fine. As far as color goes I'd prefer red because Republican. If you want to incorporate other stuff from Nebraska that's cool too but I'm fine with something simple.

  6. The Respecting Life Act passed committee by a 3-1 vote.
