Reply-To: "Bryan Long, Better Georgia" bryan@bettergeorgia.com Wilcox County's first-ever integrated prom is tonight, thanks to the leadership of the town's teenagers. There's a lot we could say about the prom but we'll just   let the students talk  instead. Here's an interview with two students and Democracy Now host  Amy Goodman: Why two proms? MARESHIA RUCKER: Our school, when they integrated, they never did start to sponsor a school prom, so   they left it up to the parents   to have a prom for their children.

Proof that Republicans and Democratic leaders can work together on a national level

Christie: Obama 'kept every promise' on storm aid WAYNE PARRY Associated Press HIGHLANDS, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Monday that President Barack Obama "has kept every promise he's made" about helping the state recover from Superstorm Sandy. Speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program on the 6-month anniversary of the deadly storm, the Republican governor said presidential politics were the last thing on his mind as he toured storm-devastated areas with Obama last fall. "The president has kept every promise he's made," said Christie, widely considered a potential candidate for the republican presidential nomination in 2016. "I think he's done a good job. He kept his word." Christie's warm embrace of Obama after the storm angered some Republicans, who said it helped...
