[AP] Pope makes Easter pleas for world peace

I like this new Pope. He is breaking tradition and giving me hope that we will see a change from the carefully orchestrated cookie-cutter church system, replacing it with a system that serves the people’s needs and revitalizes the faithful.

Gun bill, background checks, head to Senate battle Full Article: http://reut.rs/WHDpra Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Thursday any gun-control bill that passes his chamber can only be effective if it includes universal background checks, an embattled centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s bid to curb gun violence. I support a gun bill that requires universal background checks. As a pro gun advocate I support the second amendment right to bear arms. This right has to be protected so that violent felons and the mentally ill won’t be able to get guns.
