Toney Atkins comments: The movie "Bully" is available for streaming on Netflix. It is recommended viewing. Some movie theatres, especially in the South, did not book the film when it was released. A few finally screened it when the public brought pressure to bear.

BEFORE BENGHAZI, REPUBLICANS VOTED TO CUT EMBASSY SECURITY FUNDING
GOP Rep: I ‘Absolutely’ Voted To Cut Funding For Embassy Security
GOP Rep: I ‘Absolutely’ Voted To Cut Funding For Embassy Security: pRep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said today that he voted to cut funding for U.S. embassy security amid political attacks from Republicans that the Obama administration did not do enough to secure the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya that was attacked last month. Republicans and their allies have been trying to politicize the attack — [...]/p
From Think Progress.org
Toney Atkins says: IT'S IMPORTANT to note during this Benghazi controversy perpetrated by the GOP is that Republicans had voted to CUT FUNDING FOR EMBASSY FUNDING before the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on Benghazi. We rarely hear this remarkable truth as the Republicans try to blame the Obama Administration in the attack. If the embassy had had substantial funding, there likely would have been more security.
