Reclaim America Join the Coffee Party Movement Thank you Senator Markey! Senator Edward J. Markey  — US Senator for Massachusetts In Massachusetts, would-be gun buyers "must complete a four-hour gun safety course, get character references from two people", and have a one-on-one interview with a police officer. We have the lowest gun death rate in America. Let's do this everywhere. Congress should pass my MASS Act that incentivizes other states to adopt tough gun laws similar to those in Massachusetts.

After 16 Years, Afghanistan War Is 'At Best A Grinding Stalemate,' Journalist Says February 6, 2018 TERRY GROSS Enlarge this image A U.S. Army helicopter crew chief scans the ground near Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan in June 2017. Capt. Brian Harris/AP America's war in Afghanistan is the longest war the U.S. has ever fought. Beginning a month after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the initial mission was to remove the Taliban from power and destroy the al-Qaida terror network. Now, nearly 17 years later, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Coll points out that the war's goals have changed. "The objective is not a grand peace ceremony on some grand aircraft carrier," Coll says.
