America Needs Leadership, Not Finger Pointing »
NN&V Exclusive (Senator Dean Heller) – Our nation stands at a critical juncture. We face historic challenges and the stakes have never been higher. But instead of cooperation and leadership from Washington, D.C., Americans are getting more partisan bickering and more divisive rhetoric.
