Sen Cotton...new bill he is introducing

[bresue]

I am very confused to this bill he is introducing...does anyone have more clarification? I agree that more rehabilitation needs to be provided before and after release....but is he advocating for more federal funding for these programs? Or does he only want a data base with regards to a felon's history? Help anyone to make this clear.

1. I can't make the c-span link work.

I also cannot find any other story that doesn't simply link back to the nonfunctioning c-span link.

However, Tom Cotton is from my State. If he has any interest in rehabilitation for anyone, I will be very surprised. I will also be shocked if he wants federal money used for any purpose that doesn't benefit the wealthy. From watching Cotton for years, my bet is that he is trashing President Obama for granting clemency - to anyone.

2. I rechecked the link...it seems to be working for me...

but maybe I did something wrong with the link for everyone.

And I apologize for having him as a Senator. I read some of his bio and for someone graduating from Harvard and being in the service, that he would not understand the necessity of affordable health care...is beyond me.....

3. He's not stupid.

That's what makes him so dangerous. He knows perfectly well what he's doing and is firmly convinced that he is right. He is also very ambitious. He's not been traveling to Iowa because he's got kin there.

4. I will watch him closer...and thanks for the thumbs up
