reflect unfortunately in my opinion negatively on the kinds of policymakers that would make a difference in those economic opportunity issues, and and equality and civil rights issues inside the mexico, and and in the country. >> i think we've seen, such a good example of what happened in the last two decades. but that, of course, -- only governor schwarzenegger been the only republican elected to public office since then. >> correct, right. ..

we are not factored in. [applause] >> for a vote, we are sending a message to washington, to our state legislators that we are going to hold elected officials accountable. come the next election we will fire them again just like we hired them through our votes. one of the ways we can do this is by helping our community to understand the connection between elections and what happens in the everyday price.

washington d.c. los angeles, almost 3,000 miles away there is sometimes a disconnect and when i am talking to committee members and talking about the vote, the impulse. they don't have time to vote. wants the community starts to understand the connection between what they are trying to do with their family whether it is a decent paying job, quality and affordable education for their children, child care, how all these things are directly decided by who is in atlanta office so if they want to have a better quality of life they cannot afford not to elect individuals who are going to support both policies.

then will light seems to go on because they understand the connection between elections and the impact of elections, what they're trying to do in everyday life and that is the message we have to get across to our community. for them to understand the significance of the significance of the vote and the power of the vote, one of the first things we looked at, to make some kind of policy decision or a vote. our constituents are saying, because we know we are held accountable and explain what ever vote or policy decisions we make. that is from message. we have to give meaning to to the vote of our community and once we do, believe me, the latino community will no longer

be ignored. [applause] >> a few more minutes to open questions from both of you. >> five 46 years ago. and in the election, the 3% community, how do you get the democratic senate in that seat. that was election day. that is not a question you ask two weeks before the election but two years before the election because our population, the afterthought, to get together. when i ran for congress the first time, i was young at that

time, it was 18 to 25. it was a plan for how many mail pieces we are going to do. there was no mail to the 1825. those people never vote and i said maybe they don't vote because nobody ever talks to them or give some reason they need to vote. [applause] >> a big problem is a vicious cycle and therefore they are unreliable. time, energy and money are going to stay home whereas if we were to try to engage them help from

understand, if you could get enthusiasm to the midterm elections there would be a voting bloc and no one could ignore because there would be a revolving trust. and their votes would matter. we have still considered a swing vote even though we are the fastest-growing population in this country and we have to move out of that category and regular voter category who you are going to answer for with a vote for policy decisions and that is gone all of us. what you have in the audience as well, at 80% of my time in the district talking to constituents about what is going on in washington d.c. because it is

3,000 mile away. when we talk about what we are doing in washington or why it matters, and they are engaged. >> i would like to go back to what we started with and basile, regardless of the issues that didn't get done away we wanted them to, this community does not stand up and exercise its vote. this is the reason. i believe these two young ladies were not in the hispanic caucus at the time that we took one of the most important votes we have ever taken and we now see the aftermath of what the policy decision has done to our country and our people, will we go, will we allow the president to cross the line and go into iraq in a

pre-emptive move. i believe that one of the most important days and one of my proudest days in congress was when the entire hispanic caucus voted no to go into iraq. [applause] >> we lost that vote, wind in and have all the problems and our returning men and women, i see it everyday. what i am saying is it takes hispanics and in particular when i look at the women in the congress whose stand up and who fight every day and take the vote the people who are on the forefront of pushing the hard vote, when we had the health care vote it was the democratic women to all stood up and voted for it and that third of those

women did not return to the congress because of that vote. for our community, think about it, for our community this health care issue is going to be the best thing that ever happened to us and when we get it right and all works out, we are healthier community because of those courageous women who stood up and vote. time after time after time i have seen this. ac area of the vote, i stood up in congress and looked all the reasons why we don't have a good plan going and dining in syriac against the president and our own party, we got to get this right.

we cannot continue to spend money in places where we are doing the same thing, chasing our tail and not getting it right. i have got to tell you when i go back to my hispanic community in my district they played this of brand over on television, they said to me thank you for not being afraid to stand up and voting and telling people why you are voting that way. when i look at my colleagues that way, i see strong women who are willing to stand up. with a we like what is going on in some each is or not, have to continue to focus especially in this election. [applause] >> ask the audience questions, and i know we have mic on both sides, the question of is there. if you can say your name.

the question? >> i am from miami and worked in miami dade public schools, the american federation of teachers. i met a lobbyist ones who said don't give me complaints, give me a solution. i wrote it down. people doing research and finding how to reach the group during the season of football and soccer how come it is when it comes to politics we do not have people doing research and how to reach the committees and those demographic areas. i do know that it costs money to do that but there the universities and there are students looking for dissertation papers. and in regards to women, i love men but behind every successful and strong man there is an even

stronger one. >> happy life, happy wife. i will tell you is that. >> i don't sit in education but i can tell you it is for most that you are approaching universities and find out how you can get from the state of the fed to do dissertations research, my colleague who sits in education will be able to answer because he has been instrumental in raising funds for the hispanic institutions in higher education. we need to convince the education at the state level that they need to be able to allow more research and funding

of the -- what would i say? could deserving decision, latinos had in the united states for about this country that is not recognized, some of that research in health services or education or business. i don't know how else we can help but pick up at the end. >> the optimism in this group is fantastic. i know nothing i say diminishes that. i wouldn't be here without that optimism and enthusiasm and i was walking in and heard my colleague linda say it takes a woman to ask another one. i would not be as a freshman in a leadership position in the hispanic caucus, if a woman hadn't asked me if i was willing to do that. we can show you how that works internally and externally.

you are exactly right. there are bodies of evidence and out range, what would get to these voters. don't minimize what it costs to do that. we are minimizing, looking at this strategically. if all you see on national news is a polarization of issues nationally and locally, it really hits apathy at its core and grows apathy and grows disappointment and those of the two reasons because they don't see any tangible evidence of a quality of life opportunity. we have to figure out a way to counteract those efforts. it is something we ought to talk about how we shape, how we engage and maybe there is an opportunity for the growth of a private public partnership here to do that.

and to your point about doing it now. we don't wheat four years for now and say we are back at this very conference, we have to invest in a new strategy and see tangible results in 2018 and moving forward but we have that evidence. we just don't execute it. >> a brief reaction. i would say every night, and what to work with. >> come and talk to us. the integration -- >> i am going to reach challenge you because the media is focusing on just the polarization and we can't give you lots of examples where we

moved on that. as a freshman i need to say as a freshman there's not a single member of this panel who would say this is the promised time for them by any stretch of the imagination. we never talk about when we are getting along, what women did to shaped the 113th congress, major pieces of legislation finally did get through. stopping an ideological government shut down was monumental by both parties. that doesn't get delivered in a message that promotes participation. we deliver this message is, and minimize, the press -- >> let me add to your ears because i have yet to have press call me on issues that are important like mental health. have to call me on transportation. we are there, we are available.

and reached hot to tell us what we do in this committee. there is all locked out there. and this is something i thought of in my city is. and in the west coast, how many of you knows that. and negative things. >> and -- >> focused on national pieces of legislation. and schedule bills for the

congress. and immigration reform? and that's scheduled vote on a core and everyone of us, for the local community that we are able to do, not in a national peace of legislation because little is coming to the 4 for a vote but through sheer effort and determination to make our community better. we had little success in helping cities achieve certain goals whether it is through helping grant funding and putting together pieces of public/private partnership to make it happen. we all have success stories. >> we all have that. >> i get calls all the time because i do war on terror. that is the reality. and when we opened up the senior

center there's a drive in california, not in my district because we have a natural aquifer, we put in over the last the teen years a factory that cleans our water three different ways, inject it back in and drinking the same water as three years ago. it is the total recycled program. does somebody come out and sam oh my god, why did you do this? how did you do this? is they want to know are we going to go after vladimir putin? we want to know about the war on terror. that is the reality. >> the national agenda too. another question over here. >> i am a kindergarten teacher with the california teachers association.

>> i love kindergarten. my question is in regards to education, in regards to a family dominated by women and one thing that is happening in the next five to 10 years is we have a huge shortage of teachers, the state is doing what they can but at the national level what can we do to -- he will be a crisis not just in california but all of is the nation. what can we do to really get ahead of this? we are already behind it. secondly, in regards to the latinas and representation, one thing i found out is latinos will follow latinas, how do we get into follow? beautiful latinas into the workforce or education field or universities? it is a two part.

>> and the rest of my colleagues. you even mentioned that. the women up here. >> the generous and kind one. going back to the question as i understood it, i a thing that is an example when you talk about education is an example of why it is so critical to vote, for our community to vote and for teachers to vote. let me tell you what i am talking about. whether we like it or not everything happens in the political arena.

is no accident one of the last things any member of congress wants to do is to cut social security or medicare. seniors vote. why is it so easy to cut money for education? why is it that we fight every single year to stop the elimination of the program? because students don't vote and to a large degree the same thing happens with teachers. i can't tell you how many teachers have said to me we are not politicians, we can't get involved in politics. i am here to say you can't afford not to get involved in politics and you have to nurse -- [applause] >> you have to look at who is in office and look at their voting

record. for get the kagan democrat or republican or tea party or whatever, look at that voting record. i have a teacher come at me because i am on the labour h h as subcommittee and homeland security subcommittee. i had a teacher come to me to lobby on behalf of increased funding for education and it was the battle we have in our committee to try to at least keep what we had. as she leaves, she says to me, i guess, full disclosure here, i only vote republican.

talk about increasing money, it was her vote that put into power at the very party that was cutting education. you can't have it both ways so we have to have educated voter base, we have to participate, we have to participate and that is how if education, teachers, parents voted, believe me, one of the last things any elected official wants to do is cut education money. >> one thing. >> talking into the microphone. >> that way -- we want to hear you. >> you will never see any

elected official stand up and say -- this is not true--they hate education but there are those that want to eliminate the department of education been very where lee will use the elected officials say they want to cut education or education needs to be cut. they will always talk about how there for education and for opportunities but the measure of your b s meter, look and see how they vote. if they put their money where their mouth is, if there for education and vote for the funding they are legitimate. [applause] >> if they stand up and say they believe in education and are for education and education is great and the other time when you are not watching them they're voting against it they are not your friends. we have a saying in washington that i love to repeat. you don't have a seat at the table chances are you are on the menu. cable car fewer and serve you to everybody so you have to have a seat at the table and the way you do that is through your voice. your voice is your vote.

>> to be shameless, we have a whole bunch of new mexico educator's here in the audience. and back there, earlier education, elementary education all the way to higher education represented here, we are showing up in droves and after dep election, hoping that it is enough but it won't be for lack of effort. those elected governors and legislators, we talk about education is our number one priority where if you look at funding, that is clearly not the case in the federal budget. we need to the same stuff we did in the affordable care act. if we don't do work force development that brings respect back to educator's by paying back a reasonable, meaningful way we aren't investing.

we had the evidence that shows those investments were returned to us. we don't get it done. i appreciate you brought back that question because that has got to be a shift in all the policiesmakers. that is the number-1 issue. early childhood education. you are right on. one of the things i was going to let the gentleman know and the media that this year note, and the beauty of teachers that they are our second parents so we need to recognize them and measure to what they deliver to our children. how do you do that? to convince your state to put more money in the education fun you have to convince the local school board to put the funding

in salary increases to the merit basin that teacher's education ability or ability to agent kate. i was told from infancy that you lose everything you can, holes, wealth, france, holdings, everything accept your education so why are we not -- they need to strengthen questioning their teachers, we need male model teachers. we need that. how do we do that? media, public service announcement, show the value of teaching, you are for leadership of tomorrow and paid them equally. >> let's do one more question. >> thank you some much for being here. let me say it is refreshing to

have you here and see you speak passionately. it really is refreshing. my name is mary ann and i am a master of student health at george washington university. my question is yesterday i was in class. when he issues that came up was team pregnancy, how it is such a higher rate among our communities and one of the reasons implied or at least by the speaker that was present was our hispanic community, young teenagers don't have ambitions or goals. that sort of implied ambitious angels. so ims as mad as you can be a concern that back, where i they getting the stories, where are we failing that people are assuming our community, that is how they are defining hour each

use? >> jumping in before i came to congress, secretary of health in new mexico, and i am going to ask you to push back to ever talk to that class because i like to see the evidence that suggests hispanic young women lack ambitions and goals. i think that is outrageous. may be a member of congress would like to see that report. >> let me tell you something, hold on. i yield, thank you, young lady. i have never seen a first grade class where the teacher comes in and she has used an up and she's as answer the question, what do you want to be when you grow up, i have never seen a kid stand up and say i want to be at teenage pregnant person. i have never seen someone stand up and say i want to beat for.

i have never seen somebody stand up and say i for. i have never seen somebody stand up and say i . i have never seen somebody stand up and say i want to the homeless. when i was asked a question nestle want to be the pope. i said who has the money and the power? it is totally incorrect. kids are like anybody else's kids. they want to be firemen, they want to be the plumber, depending on -- the want to be the president, congresswoman, julia child, whatever is they want to be they can be and mimi to push back on the people whose a we have predetermined

disposition to be mediocre. that is just not correct. >> one quick thing. >> you got to do both. >> this troubles me greatly. speaking into my left -- >> i can hear you. >> i'm supposed to be moderating but there is no way. >> it troubles me they're still teaching that and still because i have a teacher in high school tell me not to bother to apply to a four year university, because chances are you will get pregnant and dropped out anyway. i have a high school teacher tell me -- that infuriated me to know an end which is probably why i am where i am today but push back on the baseless assumptions based on negative stereotypes people like to perpetuate. and we need to push back as a

community and i think oftentimes people can make poor decisions when they are young. i can't tell you how many latino mothers with young kids have gone back to college or second careers and they go on to accomplish phenomenal things because they have learned in order to get ahead it takes sacrifice and diligence and dedication. it infuriates me that those same tired stereotypes keep getting recycled because it is a way to make our community feel bad about themselves and often times our kids may not xl pour achieve because people who were guiding them were giving advice and that they are not capable of doing or achieving famous. >> first time you go to brown or berkeley or any top university in the nation. >> representative from new mexico. >> thank you so much.

>> they did a beautiful job. i love that they are fired up. we now it is false information. what i believe to be the case is evidence based that we have a sense ceo economic issue, we have not invested enough in turning that around. class sizes are too big. they don't have the right support for families and losing something about that and we still disseminating. this is where i am not so proud, we have the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country. it is not happening, we don't stayed the course by investing in schools and evidence based programs, by doing what matters to these families and i expect that every state does a better job. we have to do a better job.

everyone of these young people, moms and thats deserves our ability to do as much prevention and support and evidence based work including comprehensive sex education so that everybody has a chance to live their lives and fulfill their dreams to the highest possible expectations. >> back to the previous question we have extremely talented successful women and men latinos throughout this country, attorneys, teachers, doctors, scientists. the only time you hear about them is during hispanic heritage month, on tv about somebody. we have incredibly talented young people who are going to yale and brown.

maybe the press could highlight not just once the year but more often could highlight the positive contributions our latino doctors and nurses and attorneys are doing every single day to improve the quality of life not only of the community but the country as a whole. that would be helpful. >> in this language. >> we do that every day, not only do we have education but the health initiatives in the last three years. we had empowerment initiatives, groups, everything we do for the committee, an amazing job highlighting the contribution, but we have to do more than

that. >> mainstream press and ferret is one more thing, to the young lady, would you stand-up please? just recently probably a week ago, the little blurb that teen pregnancy has diminished. you need to check out the national institute -- it was decree's tremendously. give that report to the individuals that told you that and get to date with this fame. if you are unmarried and still in school teen pregnancy is the thing that is a fat sometimes because you haven't grown up yet. i was 18 and married and had my first child at 18. i was 23 and had five children. i grew up with my children. i have a high school education. does that mean i wasn't able to participate because somebody told me that i couldn't?

they tried to tell me i wasn't worth what i thought i was? each one of you need to know what is in here because whatever you want you can accomplish. using this and this and believe me, there is support up there, male and female support. sometimes they met at you but don't worry about the negative, go for the positives because those are the people willing to stand behind the u.s. and give you at heads up being able to make sure you can be what you really want to be and not what you are told you can't be. [applause] >> i.t. devoe that is all the time we have. we're ten minutes over. people asking what the most exciting part of my job, interviewing the press, having broad cover to cover events, breaking news, interesting and inspiring people can talk passionately about issues like the ones we touched upon today

and an incredible example of that so thank you for your time. it was a pleasure. i thank everyone for being here today. [applause] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations]

the thing they wanted me to say about you -- >> things the governor has asked you to say about me? >> i did want to say we had a few small fingers in common. i worked for many years to promote the city so that we would have a strong economic core. there was an excellent quality of life. i know you did this same thing in maryland. mayor of baltimore, you really helped to move the city forward to improve the quality of life and enhance the environment so more businesses would arrive here and would put enormous efforts in to protecting chesapeake bay in bringing back

the population. weiner this -- or maybe an oyster. and we have been challenged on the seacoast with great things because this is the third largest environmental significance in the eastern united states and it is -- we are dealing with nitrogen pollution, losing oyster abilities, and many in this room work to reverse those problems so we could not do that which is the key component to our environment with nutrients that are needed to be able -- in this part of the country.

also i brought you -- martin o'malley and i have the honor, very fortunate to look at terrific houses with this great staircase and i believe you were in our house earlier, busier and i happen to be in his house earlier this fall as well and so is great to have someone who appreciates outstanding architecture coming here from maryland so i am not giving this to you. in 2006 this gentleman has been the governor and you have done a truly outstanding job as governor. [applause] >> a few highlights of his career that i failed to memorize

so i am going to speak a little bit about his role as governor and also some of the other things he has done. in the past he served in the maryland legislature for the senator, i should pronounced that correctly and was appointed the state attorney for the city of baltimore and he served in the baltimore city council from 1981 to 1999 so mark out. you know what your future would be. and he was chair of the legislative investigation and taxation and finance committee so you can see when he became governor, to be mayor and also

went on to be governor, brought with him a very strong financial background that was enhanced by the liability of the state of knowledge. those were a few items. his wife katie was a district court judge and they had two daughters, grace and todd and two sons, william and jeff and they are members of the st. francis of assisi catholic church but he plays a mean -- thank you so much for being here and i am sure the governor would like to say a few words. >> i will be introducing you at dinner. welcome. [applause] >> thank you all very much for

being here this evening, for supporting martha fuller clark wishy is an outstanding leader and this state produce outstanding women. what is in the water here? wonderful to be here on her behalf. thank you for having all of us in your home a few months ago. i do appreciate the architecture but unlike your house, that house isn't mine. the people of maryland, it was great seeing you when you came down here with all the stage shares. i love your governor because of her effected in this, her ability to get things done, her ability to pull people together. and the partisan budget. [applause] >> we have been able to get some

difficult things done with votes from both sides of the aisle but we couldn't get a unanimous vote on the adjournment. i want to thank my friend from maryland, over here somewhere. jennifer who is working from maryland, part of the leadership path. >> she is looking really hard. the least we could do since your opponent was from maryland, we should say, let me say briefly, all of you know martha, longer than i have. i wanted to say a couple words, there is good news on the whole rise in. i had occasion to go around the country, and you can get a sense of where our country is going

from the attitudes of our young people and i am absolutely convinced the we have 200 years of creative service still in front of us because there is emerging in our country and awareness of how our economy actually works when it is working well. it is that balanced approach. and from time to time, play by the rules and don't raise their children in poverty. and a new way of governing and a new way being demonstrated by your and chief executive, not about left or right but moving people forward. it is about measuring performance, it is about blocking people out of rooms but creating a bigger circle because the more prospective they have around the problem is the more likely we are to come up with the solutions.

[applause] and there's a third awareness that is emerging from martha fuller clark, she has been at the forefront of this and that is a deeper understanding of the final connections we share and their importance and the importance of strengthening the connection, the natural environment. the connection between the quality of our own lives and the other living systems of this environment are related to the relationships and connections with one another in the here and now and the connections we have to our past and what that tells us about the connections that we have to our children's ability to live lives where there's more opportunity for all where every person gets a fair shot at being successful, getting their children a better way of life.

martha is that storage of mindful public servant legislator that i think is lot hallmark of what is best about democracy fear in the granite state. people who have their own lives and works on any number of things bring their best wisdom forward in service of others realizing that in fact there's a lot more that unites us than divides us and she has been an outstanding leader, you are very lucky to have her, lucky to counter among my friend, senator so i encourage all of you to work hard these next 40 days, send her back strong, reelect margaret wood hassan and jeane j. heim, you are leading the country, you are leading the way, we had ray buckley, and people get a sense of what can happen if you offer ideology.

ideology won't solve our problems. collaborative, mindful leaders are going to solve our problems the thank you all. very much. [applause] >> thanks to our speaker. .. >> another big round of applause for speaker. [applause] >> it looks like martha and dyre tech -- entertaining at home, doesn't it? [laughter] that's mrs. o'connor so those are the first ladies of maryland. we have yet to have her first husband so someday.

we are lucky, he was removed from office. they were both forced into resignation. there's a leader in the office that is part of the leadership team who won the primary for the republican nomination. so the goal is to make sure that that leader does not succeed. >> well, good luck to you. county attorney, both civil and criminal? >> no. it's just called county attorney because that's a breakup by district. >> i did that for a couple years from baltimore city. i was a prosecutor for the state police for a while and our lovely 2010 house, cut the budget so much that we went from six prosecutors for the entire state to three. that was a big mistake and they're still suffering and

trying to get back prosecutors. >> you can't do a lot for the quality of justice. >> no, you can't. >> it's hard what a trip is going 15 year defense attorney. >> how much less does justice o'briant want? >> as much as he can get. >> exactly. hey, good luck to you. keep banging on doors. >> you know i will. >> are you losing a lot of weight? >> no. that's a problem with campaigning. a feed me too much. i put about 40 pounds on last time. i got up to 215. even when knocking -- >> we've got to have you around more. >> i run the dog in the morning but i still survive in the gym. >> are we going into this other

[inaudible conversations] >> how is your granddaughter

doing? i'm sorry, reverend. [inaudible conversations] what's your denomination? [inaudible] [applause] >> now i have the special honor of welcoming our special guest here tonight. i'm so delighted that my friend martin o'malley is with us. governor o'malley has worked over the last two years to expand middle-class opportunity and put maryland on the path towards a brighter economic future for all of its citizens.

he has fought to strengthen the state's public schools, worked with physicists create jobs, invested in infrastructure improvements, stood up for marriage equality, and signed into law a measure to improve maryland's minimum wage. [applause] martin o'malley knows that people, he knows that everyone counts, and he knows how to put that core democratic principles and action you. governor o'malley has built a fantastic record the progress that will keep maryland families strong for generations to come, and he's a fantastic example of what democratic governors can do and are doing across the country. [applause] >> so it's really wonderful to

be here in portsmouth. the mayor spoke earlier. mayor, you have a great city, and many aspects of it remind me of my city of baltimore. i also, it's also good to the of the friends, james from campaigns past, and a carey hart days, and all the young people, boy, do you have an outstanding group of young men and women are working on your coordinated campaign. [applause] and i can sense here in your state that you, after that, shall the callback and 2010 chairman buckley, the little bit of speed wobble that we had. i know maggie, governor, your people appreciate good leadership and they feel a lot better about the direction of which there had thanks to you and the good work you've done. i couldn't help, and want to

share with you just a few words of encouragement because i know when you tune in to some of the cable shows, you get discouraged. it's easy to get discouraged watching gridlock in congress, but i've been traveling all around the country going to j.j. dinners, a as many places as we can in helping the democratic party. because bill, however charismatic any leader is, they cannot succeed unless we all stick together, and we are strong. you cannot govern effectively and deliver results for people and less you are strong as a party. as i traveled around the country, i'm noticing three really positive things that are happening in our country, and you saw them tonight just in the course of your program. one, there is an emerging consensus about how great our economy actually works when it's working. and you saw that in the story of

the market basket, didn't you? people realized there's more to making your economy worked with a human purpose and corporate bottom lines. it's about valuable things like the dignity of work, the dignity of every individual and the fact that we're stronger when we're together, that the economy is built from the middle up. the second thing that i've noticed and really, it's our young people like those that i the blessing to meet from philips -- let's give a big applause over there. [applause] some of us, some of your parents were taught wittingly and unwittingly and falsely that the way to our security and prosperity was by becoming more separated and more distant from others. but you guys have it right, and you are calling our country back to the truth that, in fact, it's our connections to one another

that make a strong. that we need each other. you see the next generation playing this out every day in terms of their choices, where they live, coming back to cities. the third emerging trend is this, and oftentimes is emanating out from cities and counties but in your case you see in your governors office. it is anyway of leadership. it's that new wave that's been embraced by many women who are solving problems in cities all across america, and it's not about ideology. it's about solving problems. it's not about bureaucracy. it's about doing the things that work. and it's not about a chain of command. it's about ever widening circles of collaboration, inviting more people to be a part of solving our problems together. that's not only the new hampshire way, that's the maryland way and that's the american way. we are the greatest problem-solving people ever brought forward on the face of our planet. so you have 38 days to govern --

to go into election day. are you ready? all right, let's all join hands and contact the voters, shall we? 38 days. the good news is that means that we are 38 days away from reelecting governor maggie hassan. [applause] we are 38 days away from electing and reelecting congresswoman carol shea-porter. [applause] and 38 days away from another term for united states senator jeanne shaheen. [applause] it is true, and you've heard all across the country and you demonstrate it here in the great state of new hampshire. when women succeed, america succeeds, right, senator? we succeed when new hampshire resident, going to underline the word resident, when new

hampshire resident and new hampshire senator jeanne shaheen shows a man from massachusetts what it means when they call it the granite state. [applause] and we succeed when our can-do congresswoman carol shea-porter trounces her do nothing about it. [applause] -- opponent. we succeed by electing governor maggie hassan to continue her leadership. [applause] i have really enjoyed watching your governor work. she brings people together to get things done. a bipartisan budget, expansion of medicaid. securing new transportation funding so that new hampshire has a modern transportation infrastructure. and under governor hassan's leadership the people of new hampshire have driven down unemployment to its lowest level

since 2008. [applause] i want to ask also think, in all seriousness. look, i can understand what all of these out of state man are so attracted to the strong women of new hampshire. [laughter] but don't you think they should be running for office in their own home state? [applause] let me ask you something. democrats an entry, do you think women should earn equal pay for equal work? do you think we're ready to move america forward again? [applause] well look, reverend, i think was dr. martin luther king said it's important to preach to the choir, otherwise they might stop singing last night so at the risk -- [laughter] so at the risk of preaching to the choir, tonight i wanted to share with you and talk with you about the story of us, about the story of us.

baltimore and portsmouth, maryland and new hampshire, and america. back in 1999 when i was elected mayor of baltimore, my city had become the most violent and the most addicted and the most abandoned city in america. and there was a big difference between the baltimore that we cared in our hearts and the baltimore that we saw on our streets and in our headlines. our biggest enemy wasn't drug dealers aren't crack cocaine. it was the lack of belief, a culture of failure, countless excuses for why was we couldn't do anything about anything, and why none of us if we were smart should even try. so we set out to make our city work again. we saw trashed in our streets and so we picked it up. we saw open air drug markets and we begin relentlessly to close

them down. we saw neighbors suffering from addiction to we actually expanded drug treatment to get more of our people in the recovery. after a year of steady, hard earned, life-saving progress, we then turned a bright light directly on the heart of despair that had gripped our city for far too long. we launched a campaign that we called in one important and powerful word, simply, believe. the first ad that we ran when we raise private dollars, encourage the local foods to air the ad simulcast on the same night, the first ad was a full minute commercial. and as the viewer, you walk with a young tinge old african-american boy through his life in our city. it begins with a warm his hands in the fire with a homeless man

dodging drug dealers in their suburban buyers come stomping grounds hypodermic needles, avoiding prostitutes. and ultimately in the dark of night, wondering where his little sister has gone because she had left to go by candy at the corner store, and he finds her. but he finds her in the center of a crowd of grief stricken neighbors and first responders. another young victim of drug dealer crossfire. are tightly greater, her lifeless eyes wide open lying in a pool of blood. than iterators voice says that the people of baltimore are in a fight. it's a fight for their future. it's a fight that we have been losing, one life at a time. there are people who say it's over, give up, we've lost.

but for the strong, for the brave, this fight is not over. what will it take to make us stand together and say enough? and then comes the stark white on black words. believe. believe in yourself. believe in us. baltimore, belief. now, for three very difficult and painful weeks, weeks when we were not receiving many kudos from our booster business community, we ran those ads. why did we run them backs because we have to be honest about our present in order to change our future. we then ran ads calling on people to take action, mentor a child, to save a life calling 18. joined the police department. believe in yourself, believe in us, call 1-800 belief.

get someone you love into drug treatment. there's more of them. it's more widely available. call 1-800 belief. and you know what? it did work. and the people of baltimore rallied. and, of course, as you might suspect it wasn't about the signs ar for the bumper stickers but it was about something else. the belief that there is no such thing in our city as a spare american. and over the next 10 years, thanks a lot of courageous first responders, many of the whom gae their lives in the line of duty, baltimore achieved the biggest reduction of crime of any major city in america. [applause] >> and why do i share that story with you this evening? because belief is important. belief drive action, and today, like baltimore in 1999, we as americans are going through a time of disbelief.

a time with more excuses than action, more ideology than cooperation, more fear and anger than progress. we seem to have lost, haven't we, that shared conviction that we once had that we can actually come together to solve problems and make things better for our children and theirs. there's a big difference today between the american that we carry in our hearts and the america that we see in our headlines. the america in our hearts is that land where those who work hard and play by the rules are able to get ahead. the america and our headlines is too often a place where wall street profits are higher than ever, but the rich are richer than ever, the paychecks of hard-working people are becoming smaller and smaller. the american and our hearts remains that nation that created by choice the greatest middle class and history of the world. this land of opportunity that

has sought the world over, the american headlines is initially were too many kids are being shortchanged i'm inadequate education, to be kids can't afford to go to college and those that do often come out and take months and months or longer to find a job. and all thi all of this remindsf the start of the prize fighter who is getting beaten down in the ring by disappointed, and finally his turn as the opportunity to sit him down in the corner. he looks to me i and he says, you know, the problem is what the of the guide is doing to you. it's what you're not doing for yourself applaus. [applause] in other words, when we think we can do we think we can come we are probably right. i don't know about you but i've had enough cynicism and that enough of the apathy.

i've had enough of giving into self-pity and small solutions and low expectations of one another. so tonight let's remember who we are. america is the greatest job generating opportunity expanding nation ever created in the history of the free world, and we still are. [applause] for 235 years we have been the country that drove the world and lead the world over and over again, and we did in large part on making one another stronger here at home. don't you think it's time that we did it again? [applause] the patriots, think about it, the patriots who made our country great. they didn't for a for the president to fail. they prayed for the president to succeed. [applause] and our founders don't belittle

science. they actually, they reviewed learn. they aspire to it and it didn't appeal to america's fears. they inspired american courage. and they would never ever abandon the war on poverty in order to declare a war on women, a war on workers, a war on immigrants, and they were on the sick or a war on hungry children. [applause] now, of course, you and i know that it would be best for our country if a republican brothers and sisters, and they are our brothers and sisters, would return to the table of democracy to offer ideas to help us solve our problems. our eagle flies a lot better when both the left and the right wing are working. but as democrats and as

americans, we have a responsibility right now and it's urgent and its today, and it's about jobs. it's about a stronger middle class and despite giving our children a better future by the choices we make now. the truth is after hoover, america needed roseville. after eisenhower we needed kennedy. after reagan we needed clinton. and after eight measurable years of george w. bush, america needed barack obama. [applause] no president inherited a bigger deficit, more wars, bigger job losses, or as large a deficit as president obama. but thanks to his leadership, america is moving forward again. i think we're now at 54 months in a row of positive job creation. we still have more to do but 54 months in a row of positive job

creation. [applause] that's 142000 jobs. urgent work remains to be done because they're still too many of our neighbors unemployed. those who peddle the politics of fear have no intention of letting out those and we're out there battling every day. isn't that right, mr. chairman? if they battle for the country we carry in our hard. unlike the republican of eisenhower days, these tea party republicans funded by the wealthy economic loss friends like the koch brothers, they see america as a small place, don't they? a tiny place. limited capacity, limited potential, limited opportunity. it's sad. they actually see our country, our place as a place that only can afford any more to serve the interests of the privileged few. so to those who prescribe this future of less for our country, i think all of us need to ask

them the very serious and honest question, how much less do you believe would be good for our country? how much less education will make our children smarter? how many fewer college graduates make out a gun more competitive. how many hungry american children can no longer afford to feed? thing for a second about your parents and grandparents. picture their faces. they understood the essential truth of our american dream, that the stronger we make our country, the more she gives back to us and the more she gets back to her children and grandchildren. we are not going to solve our problems by doing less. we must do more and we have to do it together. in maryland that's what we have done. more not less to create new jobs and new economies and new industries, to build a modern economy, an economy with the

human purpose. we've done more and invest more to improve our children's education, more to rebuild our infrastructure, more to make college opportunity more affordable for all, and like you, we believe a stronger middle class is actually the cause of economic growth. so we increased the earned income tax credit. we begin first in the nation to pass a living wage law. [applause] and would increase the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. [applause] now why do we take these actions? because was the right thing to do? well, yes, but it was also the smart thing to do in order to grow our economy. when workers earn more money, this is is have more customers, and our whole economy grows. prosperity doesn't trickle down from the top. it never has come it never will. a stock of corn does not grow from a castle down. a thriving economy and a growing

economy is built from the out in the middle up. the stronger middle class is not the consequence of economic growth, not some sort of luxury byproduct. it is the center and the cause of all economic growth. [applause] but, of course, fortunate democrats, the test is always results, right? does it work? merriment is a green jobs at one of the fastest rates in the region over the last four years. we have not only achieved the highest median income in the nation but we are also rated one of the top states for upward economic mobility at a time when many other states are wrestling in our pashtun and the country is wrestling with the issue. just recently the u.s. chamber of commerce, which is hardly a mouthpiece for the maryland democratic party, named us the number one state in america for

innovation and entrepreneurship for the third year in a row. progress is also about creating a more just, a more inclusive, and more secure future for our children. so with the belief and the dignity of work we expanded and protected collective bargaining rights. [applause] and we don't attack and belittle teachers but were actually support them and value the work that they do. [applause] we were not a people that advocated turning away helpless refugee children seeking refuge from war and extreme poverty in central america. we are a good and a generous people. [applause] and with the belief in the dignity of every child's child potential, we passed the d.r.e.a.m. act in maryland, and to believe in the dignity of every human being we passed marriage equality in maryland. [applause]

[inaudible conversations] >> good luck to you knocking on doors. >> and then it's mary. and then the youngest one is kerry. >> my pleasure. >> they told me i would need a lobster died. good luck to you. thanks a lot.

>> thank you. thanks a lot. i didn't bring a guitar. >> i wondered what you think of fiscal policy to improve our budget deficit and debt in the long-term? >> i think we need to grow our economy. you will never retire the deficit unless you're making better investments that can make the economy grow, and actually the president, if you look at some of the trends of some of the reductions over the last few years, president obama's average spending increases have been very, very small compared to any other president in modern times. but what we're not doing are the things we used to do and take for granted. even in negative years. the amount of discretionary investment in infrastructure, research at nih, and other

things. we need to restore that balance. if we can do that and get real growth in wages moving in the right direction, a lot of the bad math that appear so scary when you put on the horizon starts to come into balance. we wouldn't have been able, i guess another way to sit on a smaller scale in baltimore, we had to make a lot of cuts. we had to do a lot of difficult things but the most important thing where did he was to stop shrinking and losing people. because by making the city safer, we finally started to grow the city. and in a sense, i mean, there are other sort in the pent-up things -- nip and tuck things. immigration reform, a special in social security. >> how about that? >> i was sitting across the table from you during this

election in baltimore. >> tell me your name. >> karl gable. >> karl gable, good to seeyou, man. i haven't seen you for like 20 years. so you are living of your? >> yeah, i moved up here about 20 years ago. >> i'll tell gene strickland i saw you. good to see you, karl gable. >> thank you. thanks a lot. >> thanks for being here. >> ani want to introduce you toy mother, kitty. >> i want to see you in the white house. when will that happen? >> come on, we like him. >> pictures are free.

and while you're there? >> oh, my god i think i did. they were amazing. >> baltimore is a place for potential. decent, hard-working people. >> and it's wonderful to speak about it the way you did. thank you for your good work. >> you are consistently decent person but the last time we saw you talk, you got finished and you went down to the lunchroom for pizza. you're sitting there stuffing a pizza down, and i came over and i said can i get your picture? you put your pizza down and you got up and then you pose for the picture. i was down on one knee. i was down on one knee and you came over and helped me get up. [laughter] another sign of old age. >> i've got to take a picture. >> don't forget my book.

i said no, you are third. we were going back and forth. he is a conservative, and he is what america needs. and i know, i know it's supposed to be kind of kansas center greta, okay? but i'm talking to all of america. i'm talking about the need to have fighters in the senate who will fight like our countries future depends on it, because it does. we have a senator right here who is tried, tested and true. and bleeding that purple, too. [applause] no question, no question where he stands. i am so thankful that a year ago today and last night he is one of the few senators fulfilling campaign promises, doing what the american people asked him to do, standing there on the floor

with sender ted cruz to do what they could to get rid of obamacare, fulfilling -- [applause] i am loving that he's not wishy-washy on defense like you know who, the other guy. i am so thankful because we need those with, that are just fine with the principles that are so convicted with in them that they don't, they will pick a side and the opposite picked the right side, all these years. so he as a warrior their with senator cruz, senator mike lee, and those others who said, you know, i will probably get a little bit clobbered for what i'm going to do tonight and that morning, i'm sure that was bobby going through his mind. welcome to my world if you think you going to get clobbered by the press, especially -- he did

it anyway because he was doing the right thing. and you know, once a marine always a marine, you know? [applause] my son, he told me never said that in public again, mom. you don't know how to pronounce it. it's really, really good to be in kansas, or as barack obama would say, flyover country. but here it is, you are growing our food, you're helping feed america. you're sinking good, young folks to the united states military to fight for your independence. it's here that you're raising children with a strong work ethic, and it's here where you can we elect someone who will fight for the freedoms to make sure that that work ethic is rewarded. that's what build this most

wonderful, most exceptional country was that expectation of reward for hard work. i think of kansas and that's what i think of. i think of hard-working farmers. i think of those who are unpretentious and to have for so long been able to work as a community united, especially in tough times. our country is going through tough times, and now is the time that we need to be united. the primary is over. time to get it together and, kansas, we are counting on you to get it together and making sure that independence, those are not registered in either party, that they understand that if you want someone with principles, with values, those virtues, if you want that, you

don't have to be stuck with someone who is wishy-washy. but you've got the person they're already in the senate. for unity's effort, for the reason of unity, knowing that united we will stand. in the next 41 days, making sure that you make the right decision. we need to be united. only united with this country stand. he will help do that. you know, here in independence, i know a little bit about kind of going rogue and being independent. idea. and my -- in fact my husband, todd, you know, i never convinced him to register for the public and party? these independent because he says i just don't want to get involved in a lot of machinery there and the political party.

our daughter piper, her middle name is in the for independence. and it means something to me. i know it means something to you, something grand, something important. the in the in the spirit that has to translate the oh into something tangible when you're talking politics. you can't just claim as greg orman claimed to be anal do not pick a side and still be effective? that defies common sense. commonsense, it's an endangered species in d.c., but, you know, what? it's going to take for america to be saved, and that is that republican party be strong there for you. so with that, our good senator here who is, he's pro-life,

pro-gun spirit there are a lot of bitter cleaners and we do around here. [applause] these on the right side of these issues for america and for our independence. and again, as for his opponent, i know independence, and anybody of liberal record like greg supporting barack obama, supporting obamacare, supporting amnesty, supporting harry reid. that's not independent. that someone who is trying to snooker you, kansas, into thinking that he could have it both ways. no, it doesn't work that way in politics, in d.c. especially. know, your senator, he knows what he's doing. we need him back there.

we thank him for his service to our country. [applause] he is the right man for kansas and for america. so with that, let's hear from senator and we are so extremely proud to be here, good, bad, or ugly, here is to supporting you. i know kansas will do the right thing and send you back to d.c. for all of us. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. >> i just told the governor i think i'm just going to read his speech again, it will be all right. at any rate, governor, we're going to bother you.

that message needs to be sent loud and clear all throughout this election. if you just to show a little more enthusiasm. [laughter] thank you all for coming out. thank you for taking time out of your schedule to come and listen to a true grassroots, courageous republican. [applause] the governor is extremely courageous because she says what's on our hearts and minds. ..
