Americans risk losing our most sacred right
It suddenly hit me this week: I don't live in the real world. I live in Washington, D.C. In the real world, nobody would argue about renewing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). It's a no-brainer. Violence against women, all women, is wrong. Only...

No impossible dream
WASHINGTON -- Don't listen to those who say President Obama's bold plan to reduce gun violence -- including an assault weapons ban -- has no chance in Congress. I seem to recall that health care reform was deemed impossible, too. Until it happened. I...
