Rachel. Can you please identify the Senate committee responsible for confirming the head of the ATF and list out the names of the senators in that committee and the specific senators blocking the vote on a head for the ATF.
We need to shame these cowards and call them out for not doing their jobs. I suspect there are some politicians on the payroll of organized crime whose job is to ensure that the government does nothing to the smuggling of these weapons to criminal groups. L

On Benghazi , They asked for additional help. Can you try and find out if additional help was available how many people/Marines they would have sent for support and if that amount would have been enough to stop what happened. They keep talking about how more support should have been helped , I think anything short of 50 would have not stood much of a chance against the forces they met that night. Which than makes the whole argument void.

Where is the coverage? The story on Social Security?? Everyday I come to you to find out the real story...2 days and not a word on this???This is the biggest let down....

let me help.. from the Huffington Post "...

Congressional Democrats, led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), signaled greater willingness on Wednesday to cut Social Security benefits, with the party now considering a change to the way inflation is calculated for recipients.

Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill that a cut proposed by President Barack Obama in the fiscal cliff negotiations would in fact "strengthen" the program, echoing the claims often made by Republicans about entitlement programs they want to slash..."

Rachel loved your coverage on Gun buy Backs. I'm a Independent and I believe in Gun Rights but the Buy Back is a great idea. I may talk to my City Council about it for my small town.

Dear Rachel,

I believe you and your producers should be fired for your stomping on the grave of Justice Bork today.

I have never been a fan of Bork. But it isbeyond the pale to conduct a one-sided attack on this 85 year-old man on the day he died.

Do you have nostandards? Is nothing sacred to you? Doesn't the passing of another human being deserve at least some respect?
