would probably be eligible.The issue has generated
an intense advocacy campaign, with gay rights organizations and Hispanic
groups such as the National Council of La Raza squaring off with
religious interests such as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which
sent a letter to Obama telling him including the provision could jeopardize
the whole bill.At the Human Rights Campaign, four of its seven federal
lobbyists are engaged in pushing lawmakers to back such an amendment. Immigration
Equality, another group supporting the provision, said it was bringing more
than 60 families from 24 states to the Capitol on Wednesday to
ask lawmakers to offer their support.And Log Cabin Republicans, a gay conservative
group, is making a pro-business pitch with potential GOP supporters, arguing
that including gay couples would allow U.S. companies to retain the best
talent instead of forcing good workers to leave the U.S. to be
with their partners.Such may be the case for Paul Coyle, a 45-year-old
partner in a Chicago law firm, who has spent the past 10

across-the-board spending cuts that rolled out in March, The Hill reported.Republicans
have accused the Obama administration of cherry-picking projects and agencies
that would be slapped hardest by sequestration. Most recently, furloughing
FAA workers have caused massive delays at airports across the country.Rep.
Greg Harper, R-Miss., reportedly said the fact that ObamaCare officials
havent had their hours cuts highlights the political nature of the cuts."We're
talking about at least a 15 percent furlough of current air-traffic controllers,
resulting in delays and perhaps safety concerns, but yet this has been
a selective political item by the administration," Harper said.Cohen maintains
his office is still feeling the pinch because they are under a
hiring freeze but Harper said during an Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee
hearing that he wasn't buying it.Click for more from The Hill.
