Both Houses have passed it unanimously under President Bush and President Obama, but neither president took action on a formal pardon.

“President Obama has never said why he didn’t pardon Jack Johnson when Congress unanimously asked him to do so. The senators and congressmen pushing this pardon are apparently hoping that a re-elected President Obama sees this differently than he did in his first term,” said O’Donnell. “One hundred years after Jack Johnson’s conviction in court, justice for the first African-American heavyweight champion is up to the first African-American president.”

A new poll found a partisan divide among fans of the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. The survey from Clarus Research group found Republicans are partial to the 49ers, 43% to 26%, while Democrats leaned towards the Ravens 39% to 33%. - Superbowl party partisanship breakdown - CNN

Let’s not let the momentum after Newtown fade away or go to waste. The President has signalled his commitment to come up with a plan, let’s hold him - and all our nation’s leaders - to that commitment.
