And the way gridlock and on the legislature, state legislature, and in congress. So, if we have more urban republicans, and we have more rural democrats, in government, we have more moderates, right . My group was started by john d. Anderson. Iconic president ial campaign in 1980s a an independent. Came in third. Came in a strong third. But he also served for 20 years in the United States house of representatives. If youre watching john, hello. Host 94 years old. Guest 94 years old. Amazingly strong. One of my political mentors. But he is thats a vanishing breed of republican. Like a northeastern republican, like gerald ford, rockefeller kind of republican. So you would have more urban republicans. Host what is the three questions that fair vote is proposing. Guest three questions is a different effort on my part. Okay. Three question is is not with fair vote. Three questions is, im working with former representatives, brian baird and bob english, and were host North Carolina and Washington State. Guest republican and baird is a democrat. So bipartisanship right there. And the independent music dude, right . And so we say three questions. When you go to a campaign forum, you see somebody running for congress, ask them three questions what are you going to do about Climate Change . What are you going to do about the debt . What are you going to do about political dysfunction . And dont let these people off the hook. What is your plan and your policy proposal . Host but at the same time do you have what are your answers to those questions . Guest well, climbed change is manmade or fake guest i think we should have a policy car carbon tax guest fee and dividend. Revenue neutral carbon fee, and i support a similar effort in Washington State so theres a tax on, say, gasoline, but instead of him olympia getting the money and playing with it, the money goes back into tax cut. We have a one percent cut in the says tax, eliminates business and occupation tax in washington. British columbia has had the system for over six years and cut their Carbon Emissions by 15 . Theres a proposal, a national proposal, called a fee and dividend. A carbon fee so price goes up on carbon, however instead of the money going over there to the congress, the money goes back to citizens and a dividend check. Like alaska, they have public oil in alaska and alaskans get a dividend every year. So you would get a check in the mail, erly or yearly, quarterly, what the deal is. That money would offset on consumers the price of carbon and raise it up and we would stimulate conservation and i think its a good idea. Thats my personal ideas. Host what about the debt . Guest well, the debt host what do you want to hear. Guest id like to hear a plan. Basically its a huge program now. Whats going to happen in the future . Young people of america, what is going to happen when you got pay all this debt and then you got to take care of all these people on Social Security and medicare which we need to do. We need to take these these people worked hard for their Social Security, we owe them. Social security is good for local economies. People get that guaranteed check they earned and then they go out and spend it. We need to preserve Social Security but how can we do at that time if we have an 18 trillion, 19 trillion debt. So, we need to spend less, we need to grow the economy. Let grow the economy. Thats a good way to just create wealth and lets hear lets not ignore it. Candidates will make promises, we need this and that. Theres incentive for lawmakers to spend money because they make promises, but just like, okay, you can make promises and we should spend some money but what are you going to do about the debt . I just want to know its not even on the radar of the election. And then political dysfunction, i laid out the case previously, we needed this true election reform, more moderates, partisan primaries are terrible. And then you combine them with gerrymandering and just get the cranks elected to congress, shutting down congress. Theyre a minority. Republicans didnt even win a majority of the vote in 2012 and they got the majority of seats. What kind of system is senate supposed to be the peoples house of representatives and doesnt reflect the people. Reflect this minority of a minority of political extremists. Host fair vote is the organization, and mary is in North Carolina. On our democratic line go ahead, mary. Turn down the volume on your tv. Otherwise you get a delay. Rod in florida on the republican line. Rod, good morning to you go ahead. Were listening. Caller good morning. The last thing our nation needs is more democracy. This National Popular vote scheme is horrible. More democracy does not serve a purpose of our government. The framers design had a democracy limited, the popular Element Limited to the house another representatives and thats where it should remain. The 1st amendment was popularize dem mochcracy voting for senators is a huge mistake. People superintendent woodrow will son have got then idea that democracy equals freedom. It doesnt. I equals majority which falls into tyranny. Host more democracy is not what we need, he says. Guest the tyranny is when you get insiders, politicians, and they use computer technology, sophisticated globals, algorithms of partisan data, when they make the lines, a committee, a committee in your state legislature draws the lines and decides who wins and who loses, and then they take care of their buddies and take care of themselves. Thats tyranny . The voters need to at least, at least, have a fair shot at electing somebody who represents them. The voters pay taxes. The voters with under the rules and laws of the land, and we need to have free and Fair Elections. You can give your vote away to some committee in your state legislature, im not about to do that. We need free and Fair Elections in the United States. And the system is broken, and by the way, what the founders speak of the founders, if we have proportional representation, fair representation for the us house of representatives no constitution amendment needed. Its a simple statutory change. Congress can do it today. The president can sign it. Nowhere in the constitution dogs it say the United States house of representatives has 435 seats elected by Single Member districts. We need more democracy, that what we need in the United States. Host okay. Go ahead. Caller good morning, how is everyone . I was just briefly i wanted to state i am i wanted to state that the issue that i think you have on your hands, mr. Krist, i the fact that the problem isnt something that is a branch issue right now. The problem is the fact that a lot of people operating in the United States of America Corporation on this land [inaudible conversations] how is everybody doing . [cheering] welcome to dunmore. Want to thank your mayor for having us here this evening. And also the Dunmore School district. Thank you for having us. [cheering] im proud and excited to be standing here. To offer a welcome home, and i say welcome home to secretary clinton. Near pennsylvania blood running through her veins. Her family has deep roots here. Every time secretary clinton comes to town we can see the connection that she has with our city and our people. As you know this year actually is scranton marks the occasion of our sesquicentennial and we look back with pride at 1 50 years of great innovation, resilience and accomplishments so couldnt be a more fitting time for secretary clinton to be in the area to celebrate with us. Its a local woman that made it big. [cheering] secretary clinton understands more than any other candidate the challenges, hardworking people across the city, our state and our country. She knows that the deck is stacked against us more noun ever. So most important live Hillary Clinton is this only candidate who knows how to unstack the deck and confront the challenges that face america. [cheering] i was recently interviewed by cnn i think its airing now they asked about me regarding my support for hillary and me wanting to be a delegate for hillary, and they asked me do you think the anymore your area will vote for Hillary Clinton because she is one of your own . I said that just opens the door for her but its because of her qualifications that the people in this area are voting for her. [cheers and applause] Hillary Clinton does not need on the job training. She is going to hit the ground running. Hillary clinton was a lawyer, first lady of the state of arkansas, first lady of the United States, a u. S. Senator for our neighboring city of new york, and secretary of state. She is clearly the most experienced and qualified candidate who can start on day one, hit he ground running as our next president. [cheers and applause] she is clearly the most qualified candidate. She stood by her husband, bill clinton, for eight years of his presidency, and might i say a great presidency. [cheers and applause] if president clinton is anything like me, we listen to our wives, and i think the sagos, behind every great man theres a great woman or even a greater woman. [cheers and applause] and a truer statement could not have been made about president clinton and secretary clinton. Hillary is the only candidate with a real plan that can deliver results and make a difference for our families. She spent her life fighting for women and children in the u. S. And around the world, as first lady she won healthcare for eight million children. [cheers and applause] so lets get out there, we got to make one final push for secretary clinton, start knocking on doors, making phone calls, talking to friends, neighbors and family and let them know hillary hires for us, here for pennsylvania and here for the United States of america.

Joseph center with hillary in 1992, and i got to know her and just knocked my socks off. What a real person she is, what a kind person she is.

I want to thank everyone for being here, for being here in dunmore, and if youre not from dunmore, you want to be from dunmore, right . But we are were so fortunate tonight to be able to spend some time with an individual who i believe will be not only the nominee of our party but the next president of the United States of america. [cheers and applause] and i was prepared to go through her 30 issue papers from her webs but i wont do that. But i have no doubt, i have no doubt, that Hillary Clinton has the character, the experience, the record, and the chitment to serve as president that were ready for let me read from what someone said just about a week ago, or two weeks ago, when president clinton came to town. Ill read from a local paper. This is on april 8th. And the reporter walked up to a woman by the name of judy riff. Judy was there with two children, judy, named after her four years old, and matthew, 19 months old. Heres what judy riff said about our next president. She said, and i quote we of course agree with the words here chev said, and i quote we love hillary.

It is so great to be back in northeastern pennsylvania to be here in dunmore. [cheers and applause] i stopped in scranton on my way here. I always feel so much at home. I stopped at casa bella restaurant. But i was running late so my plan to actually eat dinner was kind of abbreviated, but i said hello to a lot of people there, and i met people who said things to me like, i knew your cousins. I knew your uncles. I had one man say, didnt we sled down court street one winter . I said, could have been. Could have been. I was there. Met another woman who lived next door to my grandparents on diamond avenue. And it just brings back a flood of the best memories, and th best people. And i cant tell you how happy and proud i am to be back here with all of you. Want to thank not only the senator, want to thank the congressmen. Thank you so much. Matt cartwright. The mayors, the mayor of done moder, the mayor of scranton who are here, the democratic county chair, and the democratic chair of the city of scranton. I want to thank sandy and everybody who has helped to make this evening just such a happy occasion. I have my two brothers here. They love coming back, and of course, they go every summer lake linola to the cottage my grandfather built. So this place has a lot of not just memories but special meaning to me, and the thing i want you to know more than anything else, is i will work my heart out for the people here in northeastern pennsylvania. [cheers and applause] i will be a good partner because we have work to do. We have work to do to make sure we have enough good jobs, with rising incomes for people willing to work to get ahead and stay ahead. And were going to look for those new jobs in infrastructure, or roads, brims, ports, airports, rail system, all need work. [cheers and applause] and i agree with congressman cartwright, we need Passenger Rail service from northeast pennsylvania. So, what i think about infrastructure, i think about good jobs, jobs that cant be exported, jobs that put people in this area to work, that pay a good wage, so that people can get ahead. And were going to also look to see what we can do in advance manufacturing, because i believe we can still make it in america and were going to find ways to do that. [cheers and applause] and we need more Clean Renewable Energy jobs that will put people to work right here, and we need to help Small Businesses, Small Businesses create most of the jobs. And were not creating enough Small Businesses. We have too many obstacles in the way. My idea about Economic Growth and development is, lets knock down the barriers. The barriers that stand in the way of people being able to start businesses, that will employ more people, and were going to work hard to raise the National Minimum wage. Because [cheers and applause] bus you have 150,000 pennsylvanians working for. 25 7. 25 an hour. Thousands more working on what is called the tipped wage. Okay. Some of you know about it but a
