I did a job there about 15 years ago, they put a 20 foot fence all the way around the building including the parking lot, I bid the job to include replacing all my tools 3 times (I really didn't want the job) i only brought old tools I had. Only had to replace them once, plus i drove the oldest van my company had, I used to drive it into the words to get wood, it was on beat up POS, that's why they only broke in once I think everyone else had their trucks broken into many times.

Lawmaker Claims 40-50 GOP Votes for Immigration Reform Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) told the Washington Post that the House "has more than enough GOP votes -- around 40 or 50 -- to pass comprehensive immigration reform if it were brought to a vote. But Gutierrez said Republicans who support the idea are staying deliberately quiet to avoid a backlash from conservative activists." Said Gutierrez: "Some of them I've spoken to, and they say, 'Love to do the activity with you, I want to be able to vote for it, I really don't need to draw attention to myself at this point,' but we can count on it."

Birtherism bites Ted Cruz: Trump says he’s ‘perhaps not’ eligible to run for president By David Edwards rawstory.com Sunday, August 11, 2013 12:38 EDT The country’s most prominent Republican birther says that one of his party’s early frontrunners for the 2016 presidential nomination may “perhaps not” be eligible to run if he was born in Canada. In an interview that aired on Sunday, ABC’s Jonathan Karl reminded billionaire Donald Trump that his false claim that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States made him appear “not serious.” “You don’t still question whether he was born the United States?” Karl wondered. “I have no idea,” Trump said. “Well, I don’t know. Was there a birth certificate? You tell me. You know, some people say that was not his birth certificate. I’m saying, I don’t know, nobody knows. And you don’t know either, Jonathan. You’re a smart guy. You don’t either.” “I’m pretty convinced he was born in the United States,” Karl replied. “Pretty! Ah! Pretty! Pretty! No! No! You said, pretty!” Trump exclaimed. “Totally without question that he was born in the United States,” Karl said, correcting his earlier language. “You said, you’re pretty convinced,” Trump insisted. “Okay? So, let’s just see what happens over time.” Karl pointed out that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) had been born in Canada and asked if that made him ineligible to be president of the United States. “If he was born in Canada, perhaps not,” Trump admitted. “But I’m not sure where he was born.” “Oh, he was definitely born in Canada,” Karl noted. “Okay, well, then you’ll have to ask him that question, but perhaps not,” Trump said. “Look, that will be ironed out. I don’t know the circumstances. I heard somebody told me he was born in Canada. That’s really his thing.” Watch this video from ABC’s This Week, uploaded Aug. 11, 2013.

GOP Primary Fights Give Democrats a Chance "Kentucky, Wyoming and South Carolina should have been easy wins for incumbent Republicans trying to regain the U.S. Senate majority in 2014. Instead, the primary challenges they face threaten to drain resources, sharpen campaign trail rhetoric and build division for a party struggling to find its way after a demoralizing 2012 election," Bloomberg reports. "In Georgia, the Republican primary is jammed with seven candidates, pitting one wing of the party against the other -- as is the case in the other states. Meanwhile, Democrats are unifying behind one candidate." "The infighting has raised Democratic expectations that they can keep control of the chamber and perhaps capture seats in Republican-leaning states. They did that in Indiana and Missouri in 2012 against inexperienced candidates backed by the small-government Tea Party branch of the party."
