Vitter’s View: Liberals’ Filibuster Reform is Anything But

If there’s one thing everyone can agree on, regardless of political party or interest in government, is that Washington is currently in a state of dysfunction that’s directly holding back this country from prospering. The disagreement is about how to solve it.

Many of my liberal colleagues are beginning to tout a solution that is very troubling to Louisianians and our views on what’s best for the country. The dressed up packaging for their idea is referred to as “filibuster reform.” I would argue, “reform” is a subjective term in this message. “One party rule” is a more appropriate name.

Tragic “Records” Set By Planned Parenthood (01/08/13)

I’m proud to say that I am 100% pro-life. That’s why I’ve found a couple recent “records” set by Planned Parenthood to be a real tragedy. In 2011, Planned Parenthood performed a record number of abortions – 333,964 abortions. That’s an increase from both 2009 and 2010. And on top of that, Planned Parenthood also reported receiving a record amount in taxpayer funding - $542 million – or nearly half of their entire annual revenue.
