Welcome, everybody, two new america. Before i introduce secretary burwell, who is here to make remarks about the future of health care on a number of dimensions in the new congress and the year ahead, i just want to make a few quick comments about new america and why we are so honored that we are able to host her here today for these remarks. Among the founding principles of new america, which is reflected in the book the radical center by people who are among the founders of this organization 15 years ago, was a commitment to get beyond traditional partisan alignment and specifically to apply that idea to health care to treat it as a matter of both rights and responsibilities, and something that should be vested in individuals and people, not just some jobs and not others, and to improve care a
The flagship collection we have here in corpus. He made it his life to help local and beyond mexican americans learn to be more civically active and to get the benefits they had coming to them as veterans which were sometimes very difficult for them to obtain. This represents a case of private longoria which was an incident that occurred early in the g. I. Forum. Private longoria served the United States during world war ii and was killed by a japanese sniper toward the end of the war. His widow arranged to have his funeral conducted by the only funeral home in her hometown of three rivers texas, which is near Corpus Christi. They were willing to conduct the funeral but not willing to allow his body to remain there in the funeral home overnight for fear of offending the white citizens of the area. She appeals to dr. Garcia, and he conducted a Letter Writing Campaign to people with positions of influence. A response came from Lyndon Johnson who had been recently elected senator. He stat
Just to clarify for everyone. Maybe judge starr what concerns me is at least one i played sports or was fun. It makes it sound like its some kind of drudgery. Goff is sometimes but for the most part sports are fun and that is why you play sports. As mr. Eilers clearly said any added his experience as a as a student athlete and a made him a better and he mentioned it eloquently. It did for me. It taught me i learned a lot on the Playing Field i would have never learned in the classroom. Do you think this ruling could potentially cause schools to drop football or sports . Well we have to consider all the options in terms of the best interest of the university. I know that the president of delaware is said he was a student athlete himself, to that the university of delaware would not be able to continue its Public University so it really is raising a host of serious questions. I think it could in fact at a minimum caused programmatic curtailments. It raises the issues we talked about unde
Before, but i soon found outside worthld i was considerably less and it was a buyers market for labor. Without the extension we were left with the choice of signing a deed and selling our house back to the bank or facing foreclosure. February 27, for 4,000 we back to 175,000 house the bank. We had already gone down to one car and made so many other lifestyle, and now we were no longer homeowners. E. U. C. , weve had no income. At first we got by on our tax selling items. But to make last months rent i had to borrow from my dad who is retired. If i dont find work soon, i may to consider trying to look out of state and possibly be separated from my family for a time.

Out theremany others like me that have special circumstances, that prevent them job,quickly finding a despite their best efforts, as weve heard through all these stories, and diligence. I pray that theyll do the right thi
Whole house and the American People deserve to know how i came to the decision that brings us here today. On september, 11th, 2012 a terrorist attack in libya left four of our country men dead, including our ambassador. Since that time four committees of the house have been investigating these events and those committees have done great work. All of the chairmen and members of their Respective Committee deserve our graditute. Last week a line was crossed in two places. It came to light that the whitehouse did more to obscure what happened and why versus what we were led to believe. Second, we know the instruction defied a congressional subpoena. We sought the full truth and the administration tried to make sure they would not find it. Which means they tried to prevent the American People from finding the truth as well. These views compel the house to respond as one institution and establish a committee that is robust and will do their house work while the house committees on the priori
