Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

Actually this isn't strictly true. The CDC is allowed to study gun related stuff, they're just not allowed to use it to advocate for gun control. The people at the CDC decided that was too scary and they'd rather not do it at all lest they be blamed for advocacy, when in reality they should just publish the data without "the opinion" and let readers conclude their own opinions, and argue that's within the bounds of the law in court later if need be. It isn't like anyone would go to jail over it, they'd probably just be fired at most, maybe fined, if they did go to jail it'd be one of the kushy Martha Stewart ones anyway.

I can't say I really blame them for playing it safe, but I still think it's better my way and if I ran the CDC that'd be my move, even if that meant I'd have to go to the Martha Stewart jail and be a lil' uncomfortable for a few months.
