connecticut avenue -- i noticed that on my drive in along georgia avenue. rock creek parkway, waterside drive shut down because of icy conditions. you will find a portion of north capital street blocked off between rhode island avenue and michigan avenue due to police activity. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. >> thank you. >>> crews are also working to upright a tanker truck that crashed last night in rockville. the 2,000-gallon fuel truck was traveling eastbound on west gudey drive when it spun out of control and flipped onto its side. the driver was hospitalized with minor injuries. hazmat crews were called in to clear everything up. the winter weather is likely to blame as you can see how heavy the snow was falling when that dent happened. >>> if you peeked out the window, you wanted to shut the win the owe and crawl right back into bed. >> we've got that snow again out there. probably going to cause a few problems out therfor the morning commute. want to go out to sarah simmons in bethesda with an update on how things look there. >> report

gingrey of georgia. mr. baron of georgia. -- mr. broun of georgia. the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009, the gentleman from missouri, mr. akin, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. mr. akin: thank you, madam chair. the next hour, we'll be talking about a subject that has caught the attention of americans. it's generally speaking a boring subject, but now it's not become boring anymore. that is the problem with the federal government overspending, the problem with the budgets that have been proposed, the problem of the financial trajectory of our country, and the threat that that trajectory poses. i'd like to step back in time a little bit, as a republican, to talk about the fact that over a 12-year period, republicans had a deficit spending in a number of years at about $100 billion or maybe a little more. if you put that all together over 12 years, you have over $1 trillion amount of deficit spending. what we're looking at in one year now is over $1 trillion. in other words,

>> the numbers of abortions that are happening in georgia and around the country startling. absolutely stunning. in 2008 the most recent figures that we have from the state of georgia, over 18,901 of the 32,000 abortions that were done were done on black women. we want to awaken the community to the devastating impact that abortion is having on our community. >> those figures you cite from 2008 are in line with the centers for disease control finding that found 57.4% abortions in georgia were performed on black women. dr. cash, your reaction to this? >> well, first of all, i thank you for having me and then also let me say this that at a time when we have such a great woman in the white house, a mother as well as a grandmother and then a family, for this organization that this young lady works for, for this organization to demoralize and criminalize the african-american female is just uncalled for. at the national action network we tend to go to try to solve the problem. the problem is character. reverend sharpton has tried d diligenly to bring character back into our commun

i was down at the vogel site in georgia three weeks ago. there are already 500 people working at that site with 190 pieces of heavy machinery grading and excavating that site and getting it ready for construction. we're already expanding our manufacturing sector in this country to do what the president would like us to do, and that's be a net exporter of nuclear energy technology. so we're building manufacturing sites in newport news, virginia, chattanooga, lake charles, louisiana. all of those are adding jobs to build nuclear energy components. so the stimulus factor in this decision has already been at work in our industry as we prepare it build the new state-of-the-art reactors that we're already exporting to china and other countries today. we need to build them right here in america. >> ifill: mr. pikeo, is that one of the arguments? >> i don't think that won the argument in the end. i think the politics of the u.s. senate and congress won the argument. i think he's committed to get a kbrensive climate and energy package through this c

the good doctor from georgia can tell you, that's no small ticket there. but we took this man and put him through education, educated him through university, medical school, all of his specialty stuff. the army paid for that. you did, taxpayers paid for that. even then he was talking like this. why can't we start being honest with ourselves to talk about these people? that's the issue. you mention the christmas day bombing. my good friend, dr. burgess, maybe he doesn't want me to tell you this, but here's a guy, ought to be the easiest guy in the world to interrogate he just set himself on fire in his crotch area. his choice is, go back to yemen and get treated over there, or be treated by the best medical community on earth, it wouldn't be hard to say, tell us what you know, we'll get you the best doctors, best reconstructive surgeons in america, and we are the best. the guy would be grateful, it would seem to me. so once again, though, i would argue, we're playing the political correctness game. we wouldn't do the same thing for a regular criminal defend

bennie tate, of millner, georgia. dr. tate is a senior pastor of rock springs church in milner, georgia and serve his congregation well for 20 years. when dr. tate began preaching at rock springs church, only 20 people came to worship on a given sunday. today dr. bennie tate preaches to more than 4,000 people on any given sunday. rock springs church is now the largest church in the congressional methodist denomination. dr. tate's the kind of pastor who finds creative ways to go out to the community and spread the word of good. he host the am ms of -- amples of god -- apples of god radio program. he has worked with local civil organizations. leading his flock by example. he serves as a fire station chaplain and as a georgia youth camp board member to name a couple of his activities. he's written three books as well as pieces for the local "griffin daily news." one of his books read by my wife and mic myself has a unique tite called "happy wife, happy life." all of us males have a great appreciation for that title. i've had

but without atlanta, georgia would be alabama. >> well, never what i said. i like what you said better. >> that was good. >>> we want to get a check on what things are like now in prince george's county. my man derrick ward is out there struggling through this. he's in college park with more. >> hey, jim. i'm smiling this time. it was just the snow hitting me in the face that had me frowning like that. i want to give you a look at the road conditions here. as you can see, it's no longer just wet. it is definitely slushy. cars aren't having any trouble passing, but i imagine stopping has got to be a challenge for folks. that's something to be mindful of. that gives you an idea of why they've declared this state of emergency and why people are being urged to stay off of the roads. there are still cars on route 1, but nothing like it usually is this time ofay, is time of week. and it's only going to get worse. so, you know, the best thing you can do is heed the advice that we've been giving all evening and that officials have been giving, to stay off the roads.

the rain shield is edging into western georgia. it's very light and by la grange over to birmingham, and two or three inches of rape and a good possibility over the next couple of days and the whole stuff is sliding off to the east. and the northwest, it's colder, it's dry. we have winter storm warnings out there for areas shaded in red and it will be rain and freezing rain, but with the cold, dry mass back toward the ohio valley and indiana, that will all be snow and maybe a foot of snow for d.c., baltimore and philadelphia starting tomorrow afternoon and evening all of the way through saturday. back to the west, it is all sfoe for kansas already and a bit of rain mixing in with snow into central nebraska like grand island. the back side of that, you're beginning to dry up and the upper level low over new mexico. let me show you video from this region on saturday. a big swathe three to six inches of snow. they had to close down interstate 40 just for a couple of crashes out there, but the heavy snow is leaving. more on that in's h

i flew from pharr road, north dakota to atlanta, georgia. -- from fargo, north dakota. i drove to nashville. it was a demonstration of commitment where i bought the the an unusual car and had repainted just for this event. i think the event is so critical to the united states of america. it is a 1995 stretch limousine. it was black, but i had it painted brilliant purple. that is simply to draw attention to the event. >> how you think the convention has been going so far? >> to me, it is more than encouraging. it is more than sold out. i tried to get some extra tickets, because i have to dinner tickets and only one convention ticket, and everything is sold out. >> what you hope comes out of this weekend's activities? >> i would like to see it refocus the vote of the big parties, and i would hope they think about their policies going forward, and its tea party apparently is catching on like wildfire all over the country. we as a nation, regardless of what party we used to belong to, we all need to hope and pray that this country can be restored.

it is going to have verse across south central georgia, eventually getting north of wilmington. it will hug the coast as it moves across north carolina. that's why we think we will see this mixing line move to the north. already seeing the rain pretty close to us. that will indeed cut down on amounts a little bit. let's talk about amounts in live doppler. here's devon. >> we will start with the super ruler outside. you can get this at the livestream, not just live web updates but livestream on the super ruler. upwards to four and a half to five inches of snow. but the other side is a more likelihood of build upof snow. it is 2 1/2 to three inches of snow we have there. we have moderate steady snow across the area. we tweak the colors here and talked about this a little bit and we will talk about it more. steady snows. if you lap to see purple and brighter shades mixing in, that means it will be heavier snow bands. there you see it. moving over the potomac to the chesapeake. that's where we have an enhancement from the relatively warmer water in the air. that is a heavy band of s

more snow in atlanta and some of the northern sections of georgia, alabama, tennessee. if that storm passes to our south, enough air to give those folks a little bit of rain. the storm heads out to sea, these two streams have to phase. right now it doesn't look like it's going to happen. a little gusty and a small craft advisory through the afternoon. northwest 15 to 20 knots. tonight then, eventually partly cloudy down to 30. so we'll get just below freezing tomorrow. a lot of sunshine, up to 47- degree. we'll take it, the next five days, tuesday increasing clouds. 44, wednesday may be a rain- snow mixture 38. even if it snows it will probably likely melt. partly cloudy skies here on friday. our normal high by the end of the week is 50 degrees. >> stan just wawa,,,, >>> hello everybody, what a difference a day makes in sarasota, florida. where today's masn solicits opinion on the birds. beautiful weather in the bird's camp. >> he doesn't recognize it when i see it, i think a lot of fans think we made progress from 2008 to 2009, even though the number of wins diminished

the gentleman from georgia. mr. kingston: i was looking at the tea party list of priorities, which they call contract for america and this is a grassroots deal, just popped up, and there are different tea party groups, but they have been surveying their members on what their priorities are and the number one priority is to cut the size of the federal government. number two priority, the gentleman from maze or iowa would like to guess? the number two priority is do not put something in the bill that doesn't belong in the bill. so the gentleman talked about these secret deals to the senator of nebraska, senator from florida, senator from louisiana, people don't like that at all. if it is such a great deal for the people of nebraska, maybe it ought to go to the other 49 states and ought not to be brokered in some smoke-filled back room. what you're saying is so very important, it can't be underscored, if this bill is such a great deal, why do you need to have the special interests side deals in order to get the votes f
