Attorney, im not talking as a politician. Im talking about being a human being whos been on the front lines. Ive been to sinjar mountain. Ive met the girls that have been kidnapped and raped by isis. And im telling you that we need to give them seeds of hope. Seeds of hope to know that they can live and thrive in their home. Im here because i promised these people, my friends across the world, that i would be their voices today. Hear their narratives. Im here today because of a woman i met. She was in mosul in home at night and out of nowhere, isis came in and said you have two choices. You either convert to islam, or you pay the gizziah. She gave them the money and said give me one minute because my daughter is in the bathroom taking a shower, im just going to get her out. They said, you dont have one second. They took a torch, they lit the house, starting from the bathroom where she was taking a shower. She picked up her daughter rita, and she thought she could take her to the hospit
Mr. Ehrlich its not obamacare, is it . [laughter] my family lived right across from ocean city, maryland, and delaware. A little closer to home, my wife and daughter have complete coverage for Preventative Health services and my 19yearold son gets to stay on our health plan for at least another seven years. My question to you, what would an ehrlich plan do to the Affordable Care act . Giving in mind that almost 40,000 granite staters are mr. Ehrlich if burwell is decided the way that i think it is going to be decided, which is a Supreme Court case, we will have a mess because the subsidies are going to go away. My alternative is this. If you like obamacare, keep it. If you want more freedom to secure a Health Insurance policy that meets your circumstances, not a onesizefitsall from washington, that meets your health care needs, you should be able to secure that policy by having policies written across state lines. This is going to be a huge issue in american politics. If the Supreme Co
Asia mostly cannot continue to to cheat and sell into our country with a bonus and penalize us when we try to sell into theirs. This body delivered one strong message this week, unprecedented. I cant think of the last time the senate spoke with such an emphatic voice on a trade issue. The simple message we cannot have trade promotion without trade enforcement. We shouldnt be passing new agreements while doing nothing which the senate tried to do on tuesday but was the senate stood up and said no. We shouldnt be passing new agreements while doing nothing to enforce existing laws and support American Companies dealing with unfair competition. We need to stand up, particularly for our Small Businesses who are always who are always hurt to a much greater degree than Large Businesses because when a Large Company when a Large Company in cleveland or toledo or lima shuts down production and moves to china getting a tax break from our government, amazingly enough that this body wont close that
Our security. And mr. Carroways attendance would be important to us. A lot of my questions are for him. Same here. I did want to ask the Ranking Member. The chairman and i discussed this. He was trying to avoid a subpoena. And what we were going to try to work out. I mentioned it earlier in my opening, is get, i agree, we really do need carroway here. I asked the chairman to set a date certain for him to come in so we can get him in here to ask the question. Youre absolutely right. I would agree with mr. Lynch, if you would, ask me in the beginning. I mentioned it. We talked about it with the chairman. I would be supportive of a subpoena if necessary. If its needed. I want to voice my support for that, as well. And the fact that the gentleman is not here. Sort of feeds into the whole narrative here that we have a bureaucracy not responding to the problem thats out there. I want to thank the witnesses who are here. I appreciate your valuable testimony. And its already been helpful. As i
Police beat where i live. I need to know my neighbors better. They actually told us they want to get out and get to know each other. Were looking at increasing Community Resident engagement in our highcrime neighborhoods, activating neighborhood associations who have been latent for many years. We have free cleanup assistance Tree Planting beautification projects for up to 5,000 grants. Theres so many things our city is offered and what i have found in my presentations in those neighborhoods in long beach, those neighbors dont even know these programs exist. So our job as a city is to go door to door and activate those residents to come to the Association Meetings and to begin to reform their neighborhoods from the inside out. We all know that unemployment is an issue as well. We overlaid the map of unemployment rates with poverty. Those same census track high poverty, high levels of unemployment. How do we develop a strategy that we go door to door and ensure our unemployed residents
