Good morning. A single GOP congressman is blocking a bill to help abused Native women. It sailed through the Senate + was on track to pass the House. It's on the verge of expiring if he doesn't let it go. Bob Goodlatte won't say why he's doing this. huffingtonpost.com/entry/native-wā¦


On Savanna's Act - Archive: Sen. Heidi Heitkamp tells Congress: Get to work. 'You're getting a paycheck!' #SavannasAct increases access to crime database info for #MMIW. It's being stalled with a few days left to vote in House session. Article: goo.gl/qqiAGf by Vincent Schilling

GOP Rep. Bob Goodlatte has been single-handedly + mysteriously blocking a badly needed bill, #SavannasAct, that would help abused Native women. It probably won't become law because of him. I figured out his reason for doing this. Surprise: it's lame! huffingtonpost.com/entry/bob-goodā¦
