Tuesday, February 3, 2015
Good morning! First of all, I want to let you know that White House Dossier has a new design. I hope you'll check it out!
In the news today: Christie and Paul are under fire for questioning mandatory vaccines; Obama hands out work permits to illegals; Ash Carter would consider
delaying Afghan withdrawal; Rand too casual for donors; “Allahhu Akbar” at UC Davis; and how Reagan learned to be Reagan
Have a great day.

Christie, Paul under fire for vaccine statements . . . The remarks by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul were not a
departure from previously stated positions, but drew widespread attention as public health officials try to cope with a major measles outbreak that has infected over 100 people in several states. Fox News Paul: Vaccines can lead to "mental disorders" . . . When asked by radio host Laura Ingraham Monday about his views on vaccination, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said that while he is not “anti-vaccine” at all, he does think they should be voluntary, later going on to say that vaccines can cause “mental disorders.” Washington Times Carson: No one can refuse mandatory vaccines . .
. "Although I strongly believe in individual rights and the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit, I also recognize that public health and public safety are extremely important in our society, Carson said in a statement. Newsmax In 2008, Obama called vaccine evidence "inconclusive" . . . Obama called the science behind vaccinations “indisputable” on Monday, but he was not always such a staunch believer in getting children vaccinated. In 2008, as a senator and presidential candidate, Obama
discussed the possible link between vaccines and autism. Politico

Obama wants $1 billion to spend . . . in Central America . . . The president's request says the money would be used to help address the causes of illegal immigration from Central America and would focus on helping Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala improve border security, economic and social development and make improvements to law enforcement and judicial systems in those countries.

Politico Few would see tax relief . . . Obama calls his tax and spending plan "middle-class economics," but most middle-income families would see little change in their tax bills.

breaks for low- and middle-income families. Associated Press
Invasion of the bureaucrats . . . The federal civilian workforce will reach its highest level since the end of the Cold War under the budget President Obama submitted to Congress on Monday, surging by more than 100,000 employees over the next two years as he tries to restock agencies he

League privately reached out to the RNC with a warning. While they appreciated the interest in the Jewish state, it would be “inappropriate” for committee members to travel there with the American Family Association and the American Renewal Project — groups known for “incendiary and bigoted” language attacking gays, Mormons and Muslims, said Stacy Burdett, the ADL’s government affairs director. Politico How Paul bombed with the donors . . . Some of the most influential players in
big-money conservative politics gathered late last month to discuss government’s role in society, but their focus kept shifting to a less weighty topic: Rand Paul’s outfit. Politico Flying coach with Rand Paul . . . Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) cast himself as a regular Joe during an interview with The Hill conducted at 23,000 feet — in two coach seats on an American Airlines flight from Washington, D.C., to Dallas. The Hill Paul gets into it to CNBC host . . . "Part of the problem is that you end up having interviews like this where the interview is so slanted and full of distortions that you don't get useful information," Paul said. "I think this is what
is bad about TV sometimes. So frankly, I think if we do this again, you need to start out with a little more objectivity going into the interview." The Hill

Virginia is one of the latest states involved in a new push for a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution in a bid to rein in the federal government — part of a nascent campaign on an issue states have been grappling with since at least the 18th century.
