（单词翻译）

Politics now. The Tea Party movement is getting ready for the mid-term elections coming up in November. The group has released a list of heroes and targets. The heroes on the list are candidates that the Tea Party plans to support in the elections. The targets are anyone that the group would like to see voted out of office. Of course lists are not the only way that the Tea Party gets its message out. Rallies are the group's bread and butter. This one in Washington DC yesterday was a wrapping up of a three-week tour across the U.S.. The timing1? No coincidence. Yesterday, of course, was tax day. And the group is opposed to what it sees as the government overspending.

 

In Blacksburg Virginia and all over the US, people are taking time today to honor the victims of a deadly shooting. It happened on the campus of Virginia Tech University three years ago today. Police say a studet at the school went on a shooting spree killing2 32 people before killing himself. Today Virginia Tech and the local community are holding memorial ceremonies like this remembrance run from last year. Candlelight vigils and community arts project are also scheduled tomorrow.
