. >> senator pyle release add statement saying he thought this is more political theater and not actually plent to about productive hearing. what do you have to say to that? >> i don't entirely disagree with that. we knew this was mostly politic. they don't have a vote. the supreme court does. schumer can run the bill. may get it out of his committee, that's where it will die. it's a popular ville, he doesn't even probably get it out of the senate i guarantee how to even get it heard in the house. >> senator, was it worth your while to come out here today? >> absolutely. again, i wrote the bill. i fill obligated to defend it, and even though you worry about decorum and able to say what's needs to be said, i think it's important that i come out here and represent. >> even though will were only two senators, you think it was productive? >> doesn't mat fer there was 2 or 15 up there. where the story is told is in the media. i hope they cover it well. >> there were a lot of youth mentioned during this hearing. what is your message to them and their speck cases? will you want to see them leave

interesting guy coming and i'm going to read from the book a quote about him that was originally from ernie pyle. and you, mr. hopkins, and like you because you look like, and people. i don't mean slurred by that either because they don't come more common than on p.m. but use it they're so easy swinging back and forth in your chair with your blue suit and shirt and your neck is sort of skinny like poor people's necks and to act honest and answer to reporters' questions as though you were talking to them personally instead of an official. it tickled me the way you would say i can't answer that in a tone that almost says out loud you knew damn well when you asked me that i couldn't answer it and that old office of yours, good lord, it's terrible. it's so little in the first place in the walls are faded and foe water pipes are up the walls and your desk doesn't even sean but i guess you don't care. maybe it wouldn't look right for you to have an office anyway when you are dealing in misery all the time. one nice thing about your office been so little, the reporters have to pack around your desk and

people think he has so many challenges, why pyle its contacts you're not piling it on. your talk about what really needs to happen. -- you are talking about what really needs to happen. tactically, given the recession, i think that the president should have done jobs first and then healthcare. by doing healthcare first, he used up a lot of political capital, took a long time. then he gets these republicans and tea party people who do not understand that they get social services. >> yeah. >> yeah, tea party's people's mamas get social security, because [unintelligible] not supporting him. their kids go to publically supported schools, but they're sitting here saying, "cut, cut, cut, cut." as faye said, they diverted the conversation by talking about reproductive rights as opposed to economic rights. if you don't like abortion, don't have one. that's all. it's real simple. >> the end of 2011 had district of high employment. they oppose the jobs bill. it is disgraceful. you saw mr. john boehner with his posse behind him. we're not going to pass the jobs bill. four days lat

in conclusion, i want to emphasize this bill pyles new costs on nonprofits and other speakers, costs that are going to chill speech and would create too long disclaimers, what congress may not do under the first amendment. thank you. >> mr. -- professor hansen. >> members of the committee. thank you for the up a committee to be here today to testify about the act. i support the measure as a way of closing loopholes and the private disclosure of information which will deter corruption, provide the public with relevant information, and allow for other laws. the legislation uses high dollar thresholds and enables contributors to shield their identity when making non- election related contributions. these insure that the first amendment rights are fully protected. i hope the senate returns to its prior bipartisan consensus. unfortunately, the world has not materialized. the main problem is that action has shifted from pac's, which have to disclose contributors, to new 501c organizations which required no public disclosure. most contributors by not disclosed. how serious of a problem is s

[laughter] the national association of que tips. [laughter] of these organizations meeting and these guys i worked with, the new the skinny in terms of food and booze. remember that reception with a q-tip people they have a good lobster. i'm sitting there thinking we best to go over and say howdy to the q-tip people. and we did a bit of that but i also had a guy say to me did you want to work on a project and opening constituent and this was before the internet obviously, this was 77i believe, 78. and he said to me would be want? i have a project for you. no greater love that honors the vietnam veterans.
