more than minimum wage. it is not the same for the bottom of the social structure. what about the mechanic? the airport mechanic? i think we need to have four different types of minimum wage, depending on skill level. we do not need to reinvent the rules. look at what happens at other countries. the answer is we should tell labor, the unions, the people what to expect within my first four years of government. >> the next question -- >> mr. steinberg, does this country have a problem with police brutality, and if so, what would you do about it? >> there are good cops and there are bad cops. there are good attorneys and there are bad attorneys. i think overall, most police officers are good police officers, however with a police officer does something bad, i

think it is hard for the police agency for whom he works to decide -- to regulate him. i think the u.s. attorney general needs to get involved and investigate police brutality that occurs on a local level. i like the idea of citizen review boards, made up of nonpolice officers, to evaluate whether there is a violation of civil rights. on the whole i think they are doing a good job, with these isolated incidents is what makes the news. >> you mentioned black lives matter in your opening statement. what would you do as president to help address this issue of mistrust between law enforcement communities of color? >> i do support black lives matter. i also support global police. but there seem to be real problems, at least in terms of attitude, the code of silence,

the defensiveness among police about this issue that needs to be addressed. we need to talk about much better training of police, and how to deal with these crisis situations. police, if there is a problem, if somebody does something wrong, others in the organization need to point that out. they need to come forward, they can be criticized. but we need to try to work some kind of understanding between all parties involved. police often try to do great work with people to keep them out of jail. we need to have a new criminal justice system where we are reducing the vast numbers of people in jail. >> next question. john?

>> i'd like to know -- this week is the anniversary of the road v wade decision. i'd like to get a discussion going possibly about what restrictions you feel should be put on, if any, abortion, and whether you in nominating a supreme court justice would use that issue as what's known as a litmus test. >> softball question, abortion? that all you got? first day in office, i would immediately get the fbi on the strategy. on abortion, i think it fits very squarely in what i call the pyramid of shame. a $17 trillion debt is sitting at the top, all the big issues we care about, thinking something will be considered in

our government and doesn't happen. essentially, while we spend all of our time in government trying to pit one side against the other, finding a way to dislike each other, nothing is considered, nothing is done. i think abortion is squarely in the middle of one of those things that essentially will never be considered, much less have anything move forward in congress, which are the people who would have to move first. when it comes to appointing supreme court justices, i would sit on the democratic side. i would certainly appoint someone who believed in a woman's right to choose. but that is why these fixitamerica.org constitutional amendment matters. >> i have a masters degree and am a democrat, but i would not take away a woman's right to choose in that situation. i think roe v wade was a good decision but i don't think it

supports abortion after the first trimester. the interesting thing is how do republicans view this issue, and we have had 24, 25 years of republican presidents, and what has any of it done since roe v wade was passed? what have any of those presidents done to change roe v wade? they just use it as an issue to attract christian votes. we have that to get to a point where we are not using that issue as a litmus test.i would not use it as a litmus test. >> i am the only pro-life democrat in this race and i don't know of anybody else who considers themselves pro-life who believes in roe v wade was well reasoned. we are living in a country where

abortions take race day after day after day, and one fact to refer back to -- it has in fact paved the way for second trimester abortions third trimester abortions. we live in a country where a fully viable child can be taken from his mother's womb, except for the head, and the surgeon can go in and section of the brain and, in certain states, under the roe v wade concept, that is legal. i am pro-life. nobody who thinks that roe v wade was well reasoned is pro-life. >> mr. french. >> house republicans would qualify themselves is pro-life, and most of women's rights. but i think nobody in this room would say abortion is a wonderful procedure.

what we need to do is to make sure that women don't get pregnant in the first place. there are a lot of women who do get pregnant because they cannot afford birth control. one of the things we should make available is free birth control to anyone who cannot afford it. we have also developed a birth control for men, so they can avoid making babies. i think it started at the beginning, avoid the decision totally about having an abortion. >> we just saw a debate in washington about whether or not the federal government should be giving money to planned parenthood. is there anybody on the stated she would side with the republicans who want to defund planned parenthood? >> i have eight children, four children that were aborted. naturally i have a certain special issue on this particular thing. >> i'm against the principle of abortion because i think human

life is sacred. not for religious reasons. i would put the emphasis on encouraging adoption. there are so many people who want to adopt children, and if we facilitate that, we could be alternative. the prevention, i think most unwanted pregnancies are had by young, relevantly uneducated women. fathered by relatively uneducated young men. the real solution is to really make sure that all our boys and girls get a truly good

education. if there focuses on learning and going to university and having a professional career, they will not end up with unwanted pregnancies. >> several people have mentioned the federal deficit. you are a union member, but do some government benefits have to go before we get the balance sheets in order? >> what benefits are you talking about? >> retirement benefits, health care benefits. >> the benefits are in place that should stay in place. if anything should be cut it is the military budget. they are using it to fight the cold war. there is no cold war anymore. the benefits in place should not be cut.

social security, retirement -- i don't see the need to cut any of those benefits. >> would you he in favor of raising the retirement age? >> no. no, no. >> mr. stewart. >> we have to cut them. it is immoral not to. if you keep pensions going at this rate, it's grandchildren who are suffering. they can pay off the kind of pension debt that elders have incurred. we intended pensions to help retirees whose life expectancy than was 67, two years after retirement. if you are retiring at 62 and living to 95, and you are expecting younger generations to take care of you, it doesn't work. the numbers don't come close to adding up. it is an immoral act for government to take money from generations unborn that can vote

in favor of it. i'm a democrat in favor of radically reducing government spending across-the-board, except in military, environment -- >> you raise this issue in your opening statement -- if you can make sure to have the microphone -- >> i do favor an increase in the medicare tax. i would suggest 1%. but social security, you don't have to raise the tax. if you raise the retirement age to 70, and if for the cost of living increases you used to different formula, with the consumer price index -1%, and many people believe -- you could bring social security into solvency.

i don't think we need to increase the tax for social security, and i would not cut social security benefits because our elderly depend on them so much. >> the problem is not as great as people think. if we would simply raise the age for medicare and social security eligibility by three months every year, we would solve our basic problems with medicare and social security. if you went out among people in america, even people nearing the retirement age, et al. than the price of saving the program for future generations was a three-month increase in the minimum wage for social security , they would be the first ones to tell you do it. >> you know, everybody says we don't have the money -- that is not the issue. we do have the money. we need a full employment economy. we can pay for the things that we need.

social security, pensions. europe does it. social democracy does it. it's not a question of we have have the money -- we are the richest country in the world. the problem is the 1% are hoarding the wealth. we can pay for these things -- we don't have to take a backseat on these issues. we can take care of our own people. >> next question. you talk about the groups in indonesia. the president is going to be pushing congress to pass the transpacific partnership, a major trade deal with pacific rim countries. what is your position on that trade bill? >> as we are concerned with the middle east we are ignoring interest in the pacific. china is the offending empire, as well as the defending empire. the president's trade deal is a

strategic move to reassert our evidence. china wishes to dominate. this is our way of creating a set of allies that are cooperating in liberating the pacific from the chinese influence. it is the kind of strategic move that has long-term implications and the president is wisely pursuing. >> what do you think of the trade deal, and what are your concerns about what is impacted beyond american workers? >> it will devastate american workers. if you go to the afl-cio website, trump has come out against it. it will take tens of thousands

of jobs away from americans, and i am against it. i don't see any reason to sign that. it's not worth it. >> are there any trade deals you consider yourself -- are you a free trader? >> no. >> john, and for you, for mr. adams. >> i brought this up earlier and i like to hear from the democratic side. you are here and we are happy to have you, the what has to happen in this country to allow someone like yourself to get on the so-called mainstage? what kind of reform needs to be done in an election system? doing it to, for instance, have public financing? are there some other options where the average person can get

to the level where hillary clinton and bernie sanders are? >> thanks for the question. i do think we have to have campaign-finance reform. have to level the playing field. new hampshire really plays a critical role in allowing outsider candidates to express their views. there is no reason that any one or two of the candidates at the table right now couldn't jump into the top tier. although we do need campaign-finance reform, we have to level the playing field. citizens united is not a good thing for democracy. we don't want to have an entire government for sale. that is my opinion on that. to answer the other question -- on my first day in the white house, i would cut student loan interest rates across the board.

with our national debt, you can give everyone free college, but you can cut interest rates and help people in a way that makes sense. >> mr. sloan, what would be your answer to john's question about what would propel you into the top tier? >> by the way, i happen to be a well-known person in certain fields. it's a game of chess. i'm synonymous with chess. i'm one of the best players of chinese chess. i also play thai chess at the world championship level. everybody in the world who can play the game knows my name, and if i can get into a debate with hillary i am sure she can beat her. she is a great candidate, and she will be elected, but if i could get into a debate against her i think i could win. but that is not going to happen.

>> we spent a year prior to this fix it america thing to try to get something on television. my claim to fame is that i put it on television. we went as the next big foray into something called born to run. you will see it. we got close to selling it. you would have had two people in the primaries, the american idol of politics in the new hampshire primary. there would have been one democrat and one republican that would have been brought by television to the forefront. the reason i offer that up in support is when you look at the chance of fitting in the system

and making it so hard to get in, something like that is going to happen. it is going to be a disruptor that has nothing to do with the system, and it will change it for good. that is not done -- we still have it in the -- >> mr. french. >> one of the things i have learned in the last couple of months is how expensive it is to get on the ballot. one of the things i've learned is how expensive it is to get on the ballot in each of the 50 states. i understand georgia is free. everyone else is more expensive. you have signature requirements. to run on the ballot in all of the states, at least $1 million, which most of us don't have for that purpose. >> one more thing, which is the real problem for all of us is that we do not get the media exposure. there is something called the communications act of 1934 which actually requires all of the broadcast media to provide equal access to all of the candidates with some very specific exceptions. but with all due respect to the

people from wmur, if you categorize the number of minutes that hillary clinton appears on wmur and you categorize the number of minutes that all of us appear together, she would vastly outweigh us. if that communications act was actually enforced, and the particular, the broadcast media was required to provide access to everyone who is on the ballot not equal for everybody, but reasonable access, that would go a long way towards broadening the process, not only in new hampshire, but every state. >> what would you say to john's question about how to get into the top tier? >> media access would be the answer. if we would have the opportunity to speak on national tv on a

regular broadcast, if it was just two minutes, we would get a better opportunity for the no who we are just people to know who we are good -- opportunity for people to know who we are. the excellent way of doing -- new hampshire has an next and wife doing this. for $50,000, if you did it for all 50 states, but some states are incredibly far beyond that. it becomes very difficult to mount any kind of effective campaign over the entire nation. >> want to go back to mr. steinberg. >> nobody here has been on the ballot in london for a five different states -- in more than

four or five different states except for rocky de la fuente. i don't even know the guy, but i do know he is a multimillionaire committee is in many different states and he can afford to run a campaign, and we say we support rocky bellefonte, i think he will shake things up. he is on the ballot and martin o'malley is an good when ross perot ran in 1992, he shook things up. maybe that is what it takes for all of us, take one of us who is on the ballot and this may be on the ballot in 50 states, let's support them, maybe he will take all of our ideas and we will work as a team and we will be the lesser-known candidates for president. >> let's have another question for mr. hutton. >> we're talking about access right now, and i can't help but note there is all men on stage tonight good what will you do to make sure all americans are included in the political process? >> i noticed that as well. and with the academy awards and everything else, the important

thing in a political system is that we try to be as open as possible to write now we have is a set up that discourages people, one, because of money. you mentioned donald trump and ross perot, but they have millions of dollars. i think we have to go out and seek people to join us. how about all the people, getting them involved, having lots of boys and girls involved in that? how about getting all of the state senators from state delegates, inviting them to the party? we need to make an outreach effort that includes everybody. >> mr. weil? oh, i thought you had your hand up that you wanted to address

the question as well. if you have something on the question john asked, you are welcome to do that. >> what was the question against? >> how about i asked another question. the supreme court taking the constitution nationality of president obama's deferral action for so-called dreamers. if the supreme court were to strike down the program, what would you do to address parents of so-called dreamers, and on the issue more broadly of illegal immigration? >> on immigration, it has been the backbone of our society since the formation of this country. it has been very trying to watch mr. trump make fun of mexicans,

violating our constitution by saying he is going to discriminate against muslims and not let them in. it is probably the saddest chapter in our country that this is going on. what i would try to do is get the support of congress passed legislation that would reform our immigration system and make it such that this country opens its arms to immigrants which has made us strong. the facts are that immigrants are model citizen, and the rhetoric we have heard from mr. trump is probably blackest mark in this country in a long, long time. being a jewish man, it is very distressing to me when you start with mexicans and you go to muslims. historically it all comes back down. to think that anyone group is better than another is just a crime -- >> thank you. mr. de la fuente, who are from san diego, very near the border. how would you address this issue of immigration?

>> the mexican border, 1954 miles long. 3344 kilometers long could what happens to alaska? what happens to the pacific coast? what happens to florida? only going to put up walls, are we going to create the chinese wallow over again? it did not work in china. the berlin wall did not work in berlin. need to locate -- we need to look at a logical thing that will work it the chinese have had a problem. i don't know if you have been. i been good it is the weakest link. we would not be able to put the wall in the middle of the river.

if you put it in the river, it becomes a dam. if you want to attack china can just come by boat through the river. >> what would you do on this issue of illegal immigration? >> i think that one thing that really strikes me is immigration of people who don't embrace our values. i don't understand why any person would want to immigrate into the united states if they did not love our values and share our values. and so i would not allow any foreigner to immigrate to the united states unless it were very clear that they embraced our values, specifically human rights and equal rights, and nondiscrimination on the basis of religion.

i think that is very important. we should make this a public matter that it is not acceptable for anybody to immigrate to the united states unless they embrace our values. >> another question, unless you want answer this one. >> well, i do. i think the problem is the relationship between the supply of productive labor and the gold at his accomplished. what we are neglecting his influence of productivity. between the 1930's and today, labor productivity has increased four times. this has had a strange effect on the economy, because the agricultural progress, mainstream manufacturing production get the angle -- can be handled much more easily now

than before. what we have is creative ways to utilize the labor city that test the excess labor capacity --to utilize the excess labor capacity. in criminal justice and so forth, we engage in a lot of enterprises now that are not necessary. we have to somehow get productivity and production back into states. >> mr. sloan? >> i'm the only person on my street born in the united states. as big a bridges, and work with immigrants all the time. the guy five blocks down the street, the police thought he was a burglar so the shot him 17 times. that is measured on lack rights -- black rights. this guy's name was amadou d iallo. recently cannot open our doors to everybody who comes here.

we have got to have some control over the borders can even of people in my neighborhood predominately did come here illegally, i think, but nevertheless, they are here, good citizens, no problem with them at all, i never had trouble with them myself. we just cannot open the reporters -- open the borders. >> let's do another quick show of hands. if president obama could run for a third term, would you support him? raise your hand if you could support him for a third term? those of you who did not raise your hands, why not? >> he is great, but i think that two terms is fine. as he said before, we are looking at a president who has essentially continued the george bush record in terms of war. we have had growth that 2%. black people and white people at

each other's throats in this country. failed presidency. when it somebody new who can take us in a different direction . act is justle care coming in to a new disaster. it will be bankrupt at the end of this year. who didhe poor people not sign up for obamacare as required will be fined $1000 each. do you know how those fines will be collected? poor people get their tax refunds. they rely on them to pay their bills. those tax refunds will be confiscated by the irs. it will be a complete disaster. >> everyone will have a minute for a closing statement. you can take one last from john. >> if you take the mainstage,

you win that new hampshire primary, you are the national candidate. you're on the mainstage with bernie on your left and hillary on your right. you do something that we do here in the local debates, we have candidates ask each other questions as an attempt to differentiate themselves. what question would u.s. killer hillary and what question would -- what question would you ask hillary and what question would you ask bernie? >> i am in favor of every politician leaving office now. we have to start the government over again. i would like to start the constitutional confession over again, 100 people, two from each state. not just lawyers and professors, but milkmen and garbageman.

i don't even want to acknowledgment existence of this current crop. i think they need to get out. >> i would like to basically make a comment on that. chess, you have to look six to seven moves ahead. we need to look forward. qualify in each individual state. the rules are now prohibited. every state is very complex. it's very difficult to qualify in these states. is, the chances of everybody making it in this pack even if they happen to be sitting next to hillary is not mathematically possible.

you have to have -- people have to have the right to vote for you. the optionve people to strike my name or say my name or have me as an alternative. >> this is very important. i would ask bernie sanders, and i have asked his supporters who are socialists, why can't you be content with socialism in your own enclave? burlingtoners will want to do retirement their way, labor relations their way, education their way -- i as a libertarian have no problem with that. 100,000 people can fund every one of their systems. it is when they try to foist it on everyone else, it is off the rails. it will never pass. the liberty minded person would allow it.

friend, socialist best even though i think that they are way worse, i would let them try it. let's see if there enclave is happier, more prosperous, or more liberty minded. socialists,allows who don't foist it on others, try it and see. >> hillary is by far the most competent candidate on either side of either party. election, wenique have the sky called -- we have this guy called bernie sanders, who in the past, could never get within striking distance of the white house.

i believe if anybody really once change, he is the candidate who can exist outside the paradigm, introduce interesting ideas, and can operate from unique compassion that this country needs to heal and to find a new vigor and a new sense of the destiny of this country. because of his unique role in this campaign and his unique status, anyone who has supported supportll throw my behind bernie sanders in this campaign. >> thank you for participating tonight. we are more or less on time. to make sure we have everybody give a one minute closing statements, will cut off questions there. to thank bille

gardner for the way he runs the secretary of state extra office and making each one of us feel at we belong here in new hampshire. important is very that this nation understands that the reason we are where we are is that our congress decided transfermake a massive of wealth to the wealthy. we gutted our treasury, and we got our ability to educate, feed and give health care to all people stop -- people. until we decide to get together and vote and go to vote for people who will believe in them as people and not serve the wealthy who do not need help, then we will be in a world of hurt. people who will

fight for the people and not just the wealthy. >> i am the former chair of the .illsboro county board [inaudible] it is very important that you get democrats elected at the , those arel level going to be your future leaders. don't just get involved in a president election, cap involved in a state election. listening.to people in 2000, al gore lost by 537 votes in florida. had 530 seven more

democrats, al gore would have been president. please go out and get involved. >> you mentioned a litmus test for justice and for me it would that debtgnize settling is unconstitutional because it is cruel and unusual. we have many failing public schools. at least in new york and i'm sure the many other major cities. there is no discipline imposed in the classroom. there is no institutional discipline, practically no homework is a sign and none is done. the third point is that a lot of these failing students need individual tutoring and mentoring.

ofwe want to get rid poverty, have to find a way to get every child well educated. the last is to greatly reduce recidivism in criminals, we must have real rehabilitation programs. >> three things that i did not get a chance to say in the opening statement, we must reinstate the estate tax. it was at 40%. george w got rid of it. children and grandchildren do not have pay any taxes like the rockefellers. we have to bring back the estate tax. rich people still have to work. obese children of rich people are not working now. can have a drivers license if they know how to drive. a lot of people cannot get one

because they are illegally here. but regardless they ought to have one if they can drive a car. , theye third thing is should give all these illegal immigrants and id and fingerprint them so at least we know who they are. we say that we have 11 million illegal immigrants but we have no idea. so at least we have to get some handle on how many people we have got in the country. >> let me repeat on the environment. if we don't say the natural world i don't believe we deserve to be here. i don't see how we can stand before god or whatever and claim to be moral. let me conclude by saying in this age of war and prejudice , i want to say,

i love jesus but i am not a christian. i am unitarian. i believe that mohammed was a great profit if god if not the last. abelieve that buddha was great teacher and i try to follow his practice. paula, the words, god, yahweh, people of the book and buddha, the sun and the moon, all of thend the sky same, all are one. thank you. >> john adams wrote to thomas jefferson and he said, if there is a literal heaven, the entire bible must be torn up. jefferson wrote back and said, yes, the existence of a god of love presumes a literal place

where family and friends will live together forever and happiness and healing. love people and help people you get into heaven. perfect day ata the beach in the summer. like that whirlpool sunna. help people, love people and focus on heaven. >> thank you. save thed say, middle-class and vote for raymond. if you don't vote for bernie sanders. >> if you can make sure to have the microphone in front of you when you speak. >> this is going to be a very important collection. i think my two favorite candidates are bernie sanders and donald trump. different parties. in a practical sense.

but part of the problem is that we cannot really talk about things anymore. there is a politics of hate and despising each other. too many people are in prison. people whong on what are the majority population still. shame whichegacy of leads to did pella tatian -- leads to debilitation. we need to hold our leaders to a higher standard. to march tonything stand up to participate in an election. this could be a wonderful year if the right people are elected and i am proud to be part of the process. thank you for inviting me and others to participate. for those who think isis is

not a threat, be reminded that hitler started off with a bunch of unemployed drones in a munich beer hall. to think that bullets and bombs will fix the problem is not true. we are fighting the same theology or a similar theology that the, causings -- that the kamikaze used to kill americans, hoping they would go to heaven. we have a lot of problems from drug abuse, from real need to deal-- we with them in a logical manner and one piece at a time. i can work with republicans. vote for robert lovett.

hampshire league lost one of its greats. the professor was an extraordinary representation of this state and grew up very near here. his memoir is a great inspiration. rather than read the amendment, i will suggest that you go to fixamerica.org. unzip your mind and see that perhaps what we need to do is tinker with the system, go to our percentages, get them to sign up for something that truly changes the equation. when money and gerrymandering come out of the process and they are reasonably gone, we have a chance to get to the issues that

all these well-meaning candidates have described tonight. thank you so much for making this form available. >> this is the first time i have been able to get on television. if you want to see more about www. kelso, go to lloydkelsoforpresident.com. democrats andong social media followings and should have been in the debates. certainly had more than lincoln chafee or jim webb. i wrote letters to debbie wasserman schultz. she wanted to make sure that i was not on the debate stage because when it came to polling, we had 15% and i was 2% or 3% of that.

i have been endorsed by the democratic liberty caucus. i'm the only one who stands for your security and protecting america. >> i would like to thank rigorous -- have for having us here this evening. it is a disgrace. we can change this outcome if we stop stealing from our children. budgetans we balance the and pay for the governmental services that we consume now. we take steps to give our children a better opportunity for your education.

aid to support expanding our community colleges to give them the opportunity to have their dreams come true. >> mr. hughes. >> i would like to speak directly to new hampshire democratic voters. if you are not satisfied with hillary clinton and bernie sanders, the death of 58 million babies in the united states since 1973 is a dominant moral crime of our occupation. i am the pro-life candidate in this race. i'm endorsed by democrats for life and most prominent pro-life democrats. let the record show once again that there are 3500 innocent babies killed today. 25,000 this week.

100,000 this month. constitution, our declaration of independence, our humanity calls on all of us to do what we can to write this wrong. stand with martin luther king, john kennedy, bobby kennedy and i believe a majority of democrats. pro-life.e >> i would like to get a show of hands from people in the audience. please raise your hand if you think that there is one thing you can do better than congress? i'm seeing a good number of hands. disturbed anytime you expand a power of congress. that is what president obama and most progressives want to do.

it maybe good meeting, be that they want more power. but please don't listen to the leaders of my party who have good things but don't do good. president obama has been the worst president for blacks since james buchanan. black lives matter, black education matter. we need a more responsible government to its citizens. >> mr. french. electedrnie sanders is and congress is supportive and the top tax rate goes to 90%, our top business executives who make $1 million will be looking ofan after-tax income

$100,000 in the united states versus going to another country and having half $1 million of net income after their taxes. we will have an up flow of executives, the tax rates on companies in this nation. we need to keep the good ones, those who are hard-working and get rid of the bad ones. online, the college system of lectures has been -- someince the time of of it is good, but it is old technology. online is new technology and we need to or it. it is very inexpensive and we could be worldwide and getting a lot from it without having huge college loans. next.r make sure that you speak into the microphone.

>> when you come visit me, you get to stay in the lincoln bedroom. actually, i am not important in this at all. the ideas are what is important and one idea i would like to express is that america needs a national service corps. it innovation corps that every american citizen gives to their country two to three years . that will solve these problems of the white cop in the black people about the immigrants. it's hard to hate each other. when the risk i has a live in the guy who swam across the rio grande. one of the things i would advocate for on day one is the national service corps to use new technology to solve actual problems in our country and even internationally. democracy andeep

everybody participating in our country can contribute to solving the problem. that's what i represent. i am not important. my second last name is alexander. my great-grandfather came on the mayflower. from england. my other grandfather from france. the other one from spain. eventually they made it to mexico and from mexico they made it here. i started the revolution with daniel alexander and i was born in san diego. nobody talked about the homeless. but i plan to reduce at least 50% of homeless on the streets. nobody talked about the air we breathe. nobody talked about what it

means to our kids are education. nobody talked about jobs. i want to generate one million .obs >> the last minute goes to john adams. i have been fighting for the environment for 20 years starting in southwestern new mexico in 1996 and 1998. i would also like to take a moment of silence for granted -- eagles.ey of the my time is short, but i did with to take that moment. he -- he died of rheumatoid arthritis and i think it is up for it that we can spend more than $1 trillion going to war in iraq and we cannot spend 5% of that researching diseases trying to cure diseases. why is there no cure for
