The first step act which in my mind, in spite of their differences, they came to washington to solve a problem. in spite of their philosophical differences, they see an opportunity to work together, agree to disagree on other issues on a civil manner but look for common ground to solve a problem. a landmark piece of legislation and im proudly to be associated with it with allegheny college, very proud to be in their presence. if you can see, there was a video of your presentation and you can pas...
