Would love to! I am fired up about the #Chiefs game on Sunday. If the defense can get some stops, I like their chances, esp at #Arrowhead. x.com/bobfescoe/status/81968…

The 11 countries who signed TPP with us. The Obama admin got a good deal for US workers but Congress never voted on it. #missedopportunity x.com/kctww/status/819676618…
