"His name is Pebbles"--4/16/17

Hello everyone! Today I went down to the House floor, where they were talking about lobbyists and abortions, which I will choose not to talk about in depth for reasons you can imagine. But if you want, you can watch the floor debate here, it was very interesting to watch.
