Laughs but she was his best , friend and she compensated. It is aaron burr that lets her know that James Madison wishes to meet her. She carved out a space for women, where they could wield a great deal of political power. Here, Dolley Madison would sit at the head of the table and direct the conversation. She got these people to the white house and entertained them, got them together, got them talking. This was very important for dolley to make everybody feel welcome, be they enemies or allies. Dolley popularized the style to american fashion, and that was considered her classic look. People noticed it. The octagon was the perfect setting for james and Dolley Madison as they try and resume government as quickly as possible. She sat side by side with madison for almost 20 years during his retirement, helping him compile and arrange his papers. She moved back to washington, d. C. In her elder years and sort of became a grand damme. Very much behind the scenes in the political field agai
I am amazed that after this conference passed unanimously, the senate has unanimously, and the president signed instructions that our military and civilian contractors should be held harmless in this entire shutdown that after a week we are still waiting for them to implement the law that was put to place a week ago. They are allowing us to have more and more pain specifically in the military. All of us agreed together that they would be held harmless entirely. It is very frustrating that we even have to pass something for them to practice their religious faith. It is essential part of their life. For the administration to pull back and say there are places where you will not have worship on a weekend is absolutely unacceptable. The glad we passed that in house today. Hopefully the senate will take that out. This is something we have to d we have to do. Make sure we are continuing to looking at the intent. The republican position has continued to be no special treatment under the law.
Democracy. If people lose face in faith in democracy, faith in some ability to control the events that are occurring in washington, the actions of elected officials, the average person loses that faith, this is a much different country and i fear the consequences. I genuinely fear what is happening here. Go talk to average people. They are just so disillusioned in the system. One of the main reasons look, the tea party has gridlocked our government. How does the tea party have such power . Some of it is that they dominate some of the republican primaries but much of it is they have 20 people and they can call up and push a button and say put this money in. We sought when the government was shut down. The ads in your district that you are opposing, a small number of people who really want to paralyze the government are just being given such huge disproportionate weight. But the average citizen who doesnt follow in detail because government doesnt work. That is terrible for our democracy
Taking time out on the afternoon and coming. I hope it will be different, maybe. It really is a thrill to be here in the house office building. My first memories were in the 70s. Many of you were not alive then, but if you can imagine the 70s i was a young girl and i would run up and down the corridors and back then, you could actually take elevators down and go through the tunnels without security. Many times i would get lot of and pop lack up somewhere else in congress or over the capital building. This is where i spend a lot of my time growing up. For me its a particular thrill to be back and thank you very much for having me here. In terms of where i am, i will 5 you a background about the journey to the book. Why this book and why our family documents and the history of our nation are so very important. They are i think a really very important cross roads as a country. We will have to figure out who are wea a country and thats in the next generation. I think the best way to start
Take a look. Joe biden is not a savior. If given the chance he will be the destroyer of american greatness. They will make every city look like democrat run portland. No one will be safe in bidens america. At the Democratic National convention you barely heard a word about their agenda. Thats not because they dont have one. Its because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals put forward by a major party nominee. Joe bidens agenda is made in china. My agenda is made in the u. S. A. Joe bidens plan is not a solution to the virus but a surrender to the virus. The president and republicans reaching out to three groups of voters during the rnc. Maga supporters and africanamerican and swing voters. Were they successful in selling the message . Greg, lets say, virtual experiment in conventions is over. Ratings were down all around. But the Biden Campaign bragging that their candidates speech got more viewers than President Trumps speech. Why do you think that was . Probably there is
