And at a remarkable House Party Night that was hosted in hampton falls, we got to hear grassroots young organizer just like steven. Olivia shared with us the story father, someone who had worked at General Motors as his father and his fathers father but also got , laid off and also deeply struggled with a health cancer. N with she is here fighting for joe iden to make sure that he is our next president of the United States because olivia and her ways in derstand the which joes experience, his heart, and his record make him us, est choice for all of not just here in New Hampshire on february 11, but on election year. Xt joe biden is someone who has years of experience in the of the United States. On his first day as president , our reputation and alliances around the world and given the tragic right nowts literally important hats more than anything else. Frankly, as i have be sitting here waiting for this event to drafting a e been statement about the tragedy unfolding in syria right now. Has turned trump his back on our kurdish allies, turks and hem to the done something that will only benefit iran and russia. Who knows resident the world and knows how to keep us safe and secure in difficult Uncertain Times and that candidate is joe biden of delaware. [cheers and applause] but let me share with you briefly what olivia said last night. She knows from personal experience what it means for a family to struggle with joe biden has just not the experience of the fight to pass and implement with but he rdable care act, has a bold plan for how to build on the Affordable Care act, for strengthen it t, and expand it with a public option, not tearing the whole from down and starting fresh, but building on it in a way that is enactable, and will make a difference. There are tens of thousands of granite staters who today have to medicare because of the expansion made possible by the ffordable care act and great work of your elected leaders here in New Hampshire and there are hundreds of staters who granite dont have to worry about preexisting condition discrimination. The Affordable Care act is a great legacy, a great platform joe biden has the plan that will make that Better Future possible. [applause] you know, he has also got a bold plan for how to tackle a practical and an enactable plan that will create millions of jobs, that transform our economy and this isnt some new enthusiasm for joe. Literally many years ago he was one of the first u. S. Senators to introduce a bill to tackle climate change. He has strong ideas, rooted in that are ence practical and achievable. Let me last just mention what about. Also talked as a currently serving senator with bipartisan bills that would gun violence, i think it is shameful that majority leader has outsourced decisionmaking to President Trump. Evennt bring to the floor bipartisan common sense bills. The bills that have come over from the house of epresentatives, the bills that we have introduced in the senate, he is waiting to see and President Trump will do i think we know the answer, nothing. E will do nothing to protect our children and our families from the gun violence that has torn up and ruined so many and taken so many lives. So, folks, if you want an seasoned leader, if you want someone who is bold and capable, if you want someone in his gut has never forgotten where he has come from, who knows what it means to and sacrifice and who is committed to delivering on the promises that donald trump middle class, but has not yet made good on, joe candidate to est be the next president of the United States.

A. In economics and then a law degree from that and i am so pleased we are pleased to hear today from that teacher who has taken and f that learning experience and skill and is pouring it into her teachers ere at a local high school in rochester, New Hampshire.

H these ill tell you, i had a friend of with hat worked on that him say to me, it never would have happened without joe biden. After he got that passed, he didnt just leave it be. Made sure that legislation was implemented. He made sure that women would be woman would that have their voice and so joe has stood there through the years of us in legislation to heard, re that women get get seen, get believed. Thatext thing that joe did was very, very life changing for so many in this room and for is that he worked so hard on the Affordable Care act. About how sickness affects families and about loss. He heard these stories from his his own area, and he heard it across the country. And so i was there while he was on the Affordable Care ct and it was a hard pull as you all know and there are many, many times that some of us would just want to throw our hands up air and think are we ever going to get this done. Biden. E joe stayed on it because he knew that americans needed to have this so he was there. Privileged because i was one of the people who worked on in the rdable care act house to be there at the white house for the signing and to his face. We had children that had been impacted and whose lives that for the better in the room with us while the president signed that bill and to watch joe bidens face was to everything that you need to know about joe biden, that he from the beginning and understanding and caring and making sure that it happened and with the house and the senate to make sure that this went through. Want to tell you that years spent almost nine on the House Armed Services committee and during that time, i had the privilege of traveling around the world and talking to do, you aders as we know, congressional and hearing what was on their mind and talkingand concerns and about the United States and our role as well. It was so wonderful, brought e bidens name the greatest response, understanding, appreciation, knowing that joe our allies andut cared about what was happening in the world. Seeing right now is outrageous, frightening, devastating in every way. When joe biden becomes see is t, what we will somebody, a world leader welcomed on the stage, already you hear comments that people make broad. He will be reassuring. He will be able to turn this around, change what people are thinking about us right now. He will be able to prove to the people of the world this is just a moment in history that we are better than what we are seeing right now and we are still the greatest nation in the world.

Listened toyou as i her talk, one of the great benefits that comes from serving in public office, and i mean that you gety, is to make some of the deepest, most profound friendships in your whole life.

He figured out without any help from me what is worth losing over. That is why he has won. Thank you for being my friend. [applause] i have a fairly serious series of comments i would like to make. This state was built on fierce pride and independence, pride in your serious reputation, pride e character of New Hampshire. That has been true from the earliest days of our nation when free oror die live die was not a motto. It was an imperative. Its spring from the determination that no one would decipher the American People who would control our future. Only the American People. When those Freedom Fighters earned independence and cobbled together a nation capable of selfgovernance, of meeting threats foreign and domestic, they knew we forget that sometimes they knew the battle for our nation did not yorktown. At the time one of the biggest concerns was foreign nations would interfere in our democracy, in our experiment. That is why we have been emoluments clause to prevent s president from being bribed or paid off by foreign governments. George washington specifically warned against foreign nations meddling in our affairs. He said since history and experience prove foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of a republican government, we have to be alert. We have been consistent in our vigilance to keep foreign nations our of our elections. That was until president donald trump. Last week, on the white house lawn, President Trump invited to get engaged in deciding our elections and who are nominee would be. He did it while standing in front of reporters and cameras like i am at this moment in the broad light of day. It was a third for power that we know of he has asked foreign power that we know if he is asked to interfere on behalf of the democratic proceedings in the United States of america. Interfere with them. Listening,oure i would like for you to do us a favor though, to the president of ukraine. China should start an investigation. Wrong. It is the thing washington warned about. It undermines our electoral process. It is unamerican. Go to any city or town. Go to any schoolhouse. Hall, vfw post, football or baseball game and asked the question, is it ok for foreign nation to meddle in our elections . To spread lies about opponents. Specifically hall, vfw post, football or baseball game and asked the at the direct invitation of a sitting president. The answer is obviously no. As americans it offends every bone in our body. The ballot box is sacred ground in america. That is where we make our voices heard. That is where we decide who leads us. That is where we chart americas future. It is where we fulfill our du
