of the shadows so they could get right with the law. some folks are still fighting against these actions. i will keep writing for them. the law is on our side. it is the right thing to do. i want us to remember people like ann from virginia. she is originally from ireland and has lived in america legally for four years. she worked hard to play by the rules and ended up becoming a citizen. in march, her dream came true. before taking the oath, she wrote me a letter. the papers we receive will not change our different accents or skin tones, but for that day, it will feel like we have arrived. to ann and immigrants like her yes, you have arrived. by sharing our stories and staying true to our heritage as a nation of immigrants, we could

keep that dream alive for generations to come. thanks and have a great weekend. represented tiberi: good morning. today it marks five months is the new congress started. we have made real progress on your priorities. we have enacted the first real entitlement reform in nearly two decades, provided medicare patients with more stable access to the doctors, given law-enforcement new tools to combat human trafficking, and approved new mental health resources to prevent veteran suicides. we have much more to do, especially when it comes to helping middle-class workers find good jobs and better pay. that is why we are working hard to pass a reform bill called t ta. trade means new markets and new customers. did you know over all we have a trade surplus with 20 nations?

manufacturing jobs tied to trade a 60% more -- 16% more. employment in ohio declined. but trade related jobs grew by 19%. every day, your from folks who say it is trade that gets them to make plans to hire and expand. the way things work right now, president obama can negotiate trade agreements on his own and in secret. he doesn't have to keep you or me informed. it doesn't make sense. it is certainly not fair to american workers. how could we allow a system where there is no transparency or accountability for the president? this is where trade promotion authority comes in. concern about transparency tta

-- americans have 60 days to read the agreement before it could even be assigned. it makes the president follow dozens of strict objectives and his negotiations so your priorities come first and not his. if he doesn't fulfill those obligations, we could vote down the agreement. it is that simple and straightforward. how it affects jobs i understand that. my father was a steel worker who lost his job and his pension. i have toured manufacturing companies were 20 years ago, 10 people worked on the shop floor. now there is one worker making the same product. the economy is changing. china knows it. with us on the sidelines, it is writing the rules of the global economy. they're working on agreements that exclude the u.s. and undercut our labor standards.

the world is engaging and trading like never before. we must pass tta so we won't be left behind. we cannot let that happen. give us access to billions of new customers. workers will be able to compete and put businesses on a level playing field. we know we can outwork anyone. we passed tta in the senate. you sent us here to find common ground. tta unites both parties. it even unites barack obama and ted cruz. yes, you're going to hear the usual scare tactics, but americans are more hopeful and determined. we are a people who stand still. american jobs. american growth. american leadership are all a state. thanks for listening.

-- are all at stake. thanks for listening. have a great weekend. >> is one of the most important american writers. he was given almost every literary award possible -- she was given almost every literary award possible before she died except for the nobel prize. she was known for masterpieces like "death comes for the archbishop." in 1943, she made a will that had a few restrictions in it. she did not want her letters to be published but to be quoted in whole or part. she left behind at least 3000 letters. the biggest questions are in nebraska. she left one other important thing. she left it to the discretion whether they wanted to enforce her preference. they believe it belongs to our

shared heritage. we ought to know more about her. >> an important historical figure in nebraska history. >> he was a pioneering photographer in western nebraska. he took photos of about 1887-1886. he was able to tell the story of development in american history. i'm good to show you one of my favorite images. it is actually a photograph of s isters. four sisters who each took a homestead claim and custard county. they showed the first time that women could own land on their

own. it didn't belong to their husbands. it didn't belong to their fathers. single women could own their own land. it was a big deal with the homestead act. each of the sisters took a homestead. it was near their father's ranch. built a small house on the homestead. they would take turns is staying in each other's house and working on each other's farms. the sisters really pulled together and made it in nebraska. >> watch all of our events in lincoln at 2 p.m. eastern on american history tv on c-span 3. >> on c-span, "the communicators " is next with author andrew keen discussing his book
