alice paul was told that she would be arrested if she came out with banners. alice paul came out. and i think one of the most amazing things is that the banner that she brought out with her said, is a quote of woodrow wilson's, "the time has come to conquer or submit. for us there can be but one choice. we have made it." the banner that accompanied her was "resistance to tyranny is obedience to god" which is a favorite quote of susan b. anthony's. i didn't put a picture of alice with the banner. it's a wonderful picture but it makes alice look the fact of the picture, she looks very small, which she was, very frail in body. very strong in spirit. and i think it's important to remember that alice paul is the person masterminding all of this. alice paul could get a job on any political campaign today. [ laughter ] >> alice paul understands what she's doing. she understands how words are escalating. she knows the response she's getting and she's doing it absolutely on purpose. and she went to jail. we've all heard the stories of the time in prison, the hunger strikes, the incredibly

alice paul did not have that intention. susan b. anthony, for that matter, had not had that so they come out with a new set of banners. and they're pushing a little stronger now. if we're fighting a war to win democracy and to free europe why are we not doing it here. and they begin to use mr. wilson's words against him. "we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts for democracy." woodrow wilson, april 2nd, 1917. "mr. wilson, if you will free europe why will you not free women in the united states?" when still no attention comes, the russians have now given women the vote. when the russian envoys come to the united states to meet with the president to discuss war tactics, they come up with a special sign of their own. in a way these are like the rapid response of the time. the situation is coming up you can make a banner that will react to that particular situation and build upon it. it's sort of -- my colleague likes to call them the sound bytes of the pre-media world. and it's amazing how long. if

[applause] >> i will leave you with one last quote from alice paul. she sounded an alarm that has great poignancy and significance today. she said, if we keep on this way, it will be celebrating the 1848 convention without being much further advanced in equal rights than we are. we should not be faced because this is written into the framework of our government. today we are 13 years past her worst fears. i want to impress upon you one thing. add your voice to the chorus, sound by sound, note by note, as we rise up in a symphony of voices and say the quality. and then we also stop violence against women and children. thank you. [applause] >> thank you so much. i like to get you on my radio show to talk about these issues. if she could just get a percentage of the tea party media, we could probably change a lot in the world. now i like to welcome shelley back to the stage, along with family.

at the time, there were already under strikes go lay-bon used by alice paul in washington, so these women knew about hunger strikes and she did undergo this how many days it was coming nearly died. years later and this is the bad part of the story, sometimes our hero's lead messy lives and usually they are someone is going to make a film and as margaret sanger. margaret goes to ethel and says i want to give me the right to be the homer stryker. ethel by this time really didn't care so she said yes, you can do this. when some of the movie is a very to positive move by singer and there are other things like that that she certainly did during her lifetime. i love to get a clarification about eugenics. did she support involuntary sterilization? >> yes, she did. not for groups. and this is the distortion that's going on today. never for groups, never for glasses with the -- class is but for the individuals that are in same that she had a caveat and never believed in the surgical castration because -- and this fits right into her philosophy. it would destroy the sexual feelings of the person. s

and virginia where ron paul was the only other candidate on the ballot. alice the nominee in waiting. rivals see this as an opportunity to keep fighting. >> i hope the analysts in washington and new york, who spent june and july explaining our campaign was dead, will watch this tonight and learn a little bit from this crowd, and from this place. >> if you look at the -- >> some say the gop is no closer now to nominee than they were months ago and so the fight continues. next we go to kansas on saturday. >> beginning today, newt gingrich is expected to receive secret service protection. he is the third to get a detailed. mitt romney has had it since february. rick santorum last week. ron paul is the only candidate without it. >> and joe biden is stepping up his efforts to help president obama. he will speak at four events on issues in the campaign. the vice president has appeared at fundraisers around the country in places like ohio and pennsylvania and new hampshire. >> martin o'malley plans to take it legal step toward committing the prison terms of inmates se

senator santorum with 239, newt gingrich has 139 and ron paul has 69 delegates for that congressman. so we're going to get to alicert in a moment. first let's talk about what we have heard from rick santorum. he is promising as he goes into this that if he wins illinois he will take the nomination. >> everyone's calling this joe namath moment, he guaranteed victory of the super bowl, before i was born. it is like like the joe namath moment. rick santorum is a massive underdog, he'd have to win 70% of the delegates. why not make a hail mary prediction. it hurts nothing. >> super bowl isn't about delegate counts at the end of the day about math. >> he's behind on the scoreboard. why not say this if i win this, i win the gail. >> i think will is right. there's no downside for rick santorum to say this. he's not a pundit, not a political analyst. this is a way of rallying the troops and also of saying you know what? despite all of these guys on cnn who talk about delegate math and so on, i think i still have a chance and it's not going to be a wasted vote. >> let's bring in alice stewart, the national press secretary

paul. when you hear the syrian regime claiming the gangs and hear of the slaughter that happened over the weekend with women and children in homs, you said it's like you are in "alice in wonderland." absolutely. absolutely no connection to what is happening on the ground in syria at the moment. it continues to take place. then we hear rumors that there's room for optimism. one thing i also had was kofi annan saying we should not arm bullets and ammunition to the syrian army because it may increase the level of bloodshed. it's impossible to raise it anymore. how bad does it have to be to stop this? i mean, if they don't get these people what they need to defend themselves, then it's a moderately corrupt world what's happening now. they are hiding behind the fact that russia will veto. the u.n. is happy that russia is vetoing. it's an excuse for action. it's reprehensible corruption. the women, men and children are suffering. they couldn't stop for moments while crews sat there. they went on as if nothing is happening. they will continue to carry on and blame armed terrorists. this is a very corrupt and dangerous game that's being played. >> the statement from the u.
