Obama voices support for Senate immigration bill via Rickey.org Obama says immigration bill conforms to his principles, urges Senate to start debate soon WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says a far-reaching immigration overhaul approved by a Senate panel is largely consistent with his own principles. He says the bill meets the challenge of fixing a broken U.S. immigration system. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the bill in a 13-5 vote after the panel’s chairman agreed not to force a vote on his proposal to allow gay Americans to seek green cards for their spouses. Obama says he hopes the bill will still be improved. He’s applauding the bipartisan Senate group that crafted the bill, which creates a path to citizenship for millions living in the country illegally. Obama is urging the full Senate to take up the bill soon. Debate on the bill is expected to start early next month. Copyright (2013) Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Allison Iraheta is married via Rickey.org Allison Iraheta eloped with Matthew Hagar back in January. From THR: American Idol alum Allison Iraheta is married. The season eight finalist, who came in fourth behind winner Kris Allen and runners up Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey, eloped with songwriter-producer Matthew Hagar back in January. Hagar is also her bandmate in the group Halo Circus. The two have kept the nuptials under wraps even as they perform Halo Circus gigs together (tonight they’re scheduled to appear at Los Angeles’ Hotel Café). Iraheta first met Hagar through her friend and guitarist David Immerman. As the 21-year-old explained to The Hollywood Reporter in April, Immerman had written a song with Hager and wanted Iraheta to record the vocal. Said Iraheta: “I thought, why not? I’m not doing anything.” After the session, Hager asked her, “Why aren’t you writing or recording? What’s happening with your career?” to which she revealed that she’d been having a hard time coping with being dropped by her label.

Oklahoma Senators embrace disaster aid after opposing Sandy relief bill via Rickey.org Oklahoma’s two Republican senators voted against the relief bill to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey last year. The bill left FEMA with a balance of $11.6 billion which will now be used to help the victims of the tornado on Oklahoma City. From Reuters: Amid expressions of horror, grief and resolve over the devastating tornado that smashed into suburban Oklahoma City, many lawmakers expressed relief on Tuesday that they took action in January to bulk up the FEMA disaster relief fund. But Oklahoma’s two senators, both Republicans, found themselves in an awkward position for having voted against the $60 billion supplemental appropriation bill that was largely aimed at providing relief to victims of Superstorm Sandy, which slammed into coastal New York and New Jersey last year. The bill left the disaster fund run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with a healthy balance of $11.6 billion. FEMA spokesman Dan Watson said the amount is sufficient for handling immediate response and recovery efforts in Oklahoma and residual recovery costs associated with Sandy. In January, Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe called the Sandy appropriations bill a “slush fund” because it included long-term infrastructure spending and funding for projects aimed at disasters other than the devastation along the U.S. East Coast.
