spratt from south carolina. i heard a wise man once say that you never saw a great country with an uneducated and unhealthy population. we're headed there. 67,000 uninsured in the congressional district that i represent will be helped by this bill. we all know the statistics about the spiraling costs of insurance and the ever increasing percentage of uninsured within our own district and across this nation. we all agree, this is an unsustainable path. i have heard you say it many times. so i ask you, how high do these numbers have to go before we act? earlier, i heard the gentlelady from washington state say it's the wrong time. for 22 years, in my legislative service as i have been trying to find solutions, i have heard it's the wrong time. i know many of you have been trying to find those solutions from time to time, solutions to those high costs, the spiraling high costs, the ever increasing number of uninsured on an annual basis, solutions that would do it in a fiscally responsible way and use the good part

of south carolina, -- south carolina. >> i urge members to vote no on the previous question so the rule can be amended and the house can consider h.res. 1188. if passed, this bill will ensure a straight forward up or down vote on the senate passed health care bill. from the moment this bill was introduced, madam speaker, this government takeover of health care has been on life support. kept alive only by closed door processes and sweetheart deals. over the past several months i spent a tremendous amount of time in south carolina talking to folks about health care and quite frankly the american people are tired of the games, the gimmicks, and they have been tired of us trying to muscle this bill through the legislative process. it's time we pull the plug on all these secretive schemes, madam speaker, the cure is real and true transparency. the american people deserve an honest debate and open vote by congress on this legislation. therefore i urge all of my colleagues to vote no on the previous question. madam speaker, let's give the american people a true up or down vote on this legislat

for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina rise? mr. wilson: i ask permission to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. wilson: madam speaker, 219 liberals on the other side of the aisle may have passed a government health care takeover, but the american people still have a voice to tell their lawmakers to repeal these job-killing mandates and finally focus on job creation proposals. congress spent the better part of the entire year obsessed with cutting deals for a health care takeover full of tax increases and mandates while unemployment increased by over three million people. let me repeat, 219 lawmakers ignored the clear message that the american people sent about this job-killing takeover, that they didn't want it, and after arm twisting proceeded to ram it through anyway. when is congress going to get it right? the american people wants to know when private sector jobs will be created instead of 16,500 more i.r.s. government

let me read you a little bit about what north carolina's law says. it allows for a seclusion and restraint to maintain order or calm or comfort in the classroom. and does not require that there be imminent danger or an emergency, and people can use it for discipline and to write it into i.e.p. or individualized education programs. that's exactly why we need this because some states like her home state don't understand this shouldn't be the way we deal with children with special needs or other challenges. it shouldn't be standard operating procedure in our schools. madam speaker, i now lied to yield two minutes to the gentleman from california, mr. miller. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized for two minutes. mr. miller: i want to thank my colleague from california and the rules committee for reporting this rule that will allow us for the first time to have federal guidelines for the protection of children while they are in school. it is important that we strive to keep all children safer while they are in school. i'm h

and as a result, barack obama wins a big victory in the south carolina. the next thing that happens is you go through super tuesday and part of the rest of february, 2007, and the mighty clinton campaign, the campaign of all of the experienced team, the campaign that had presumably been through all of this before fundamentally misunderstands the role of the caucasus in the democratic nomination process. they basically allowed barack obama to run away with the caucasus. and because of the way the democratic rules go for allocating delegates, barack obama is able to pilot a disproportionate share of delegates in states that have a very small share of joxel delegates. i will give you a very quick example. the primary state, new jersey, 107 delegates, hillary clinton wins that. she beats obama pretty easily. she gets the net of 11 more delegates out of the 170 in barack obama. idaho, a caucus, 18 delegates total, obama competes hard, hillary clinton doesn't. obama next 12 more delegates than hillary. so he built an insurmountable lead primarily through the ca

after spending several years in columbia, south carolina, and albany, new york. now, i am originally from mississippi, the son of two public school teachers. and being from mississippi, the one thing my parents made sure i knew was my history. it's almost a state requirement in mississippi to know where you came from. so when i left mississippi to go to south carolina, i took along this desire to know history. and i studied the history of south carolina. i did the same thing when i went to upstate new york. i got involved in learning the african-american history of upstate new york. which, by the way, is very vibrant. a lot of the underground railroads ended in upstate new york. so they have a very vibrant african-american community and history up there. but when i left albany, new york, to come to washington, d.c., i knew i was hitting the mother load. washington, d.c., i knew, had to have a strong african-american history component to it. i came to d.c. and immediately began working in the u.s. capitol. and like all tourists, the very first thing i did when i c

as a result, obama wins a big victory in south carolina. the next thing that happened is you do through super tuesday and the part of the rest of february of 2007. the mighty clinton complain the complain of all of the experienced team, the complain that had presumably been through all of this before, fundamental ly misunderstanding the roll of the caucus in the nomination process. they basically allow barack obama to run away with the caucuses. and because of the way the democratic rules go for allocating dell dell dell -- delegates, and he was able to have the states with small delegates. primary state, new jersey, hillary clinton wins that. she beats obama pretty easily. she gets a net of 11 more delegates out of that 107 than barack obama. idaho, 18 total, obama competes hard, hillary doesn't. obama nets 12 more delegates than hillary. he built a loud primarily through the caucuses by the end of february. at this point, the complain, i think, is effectively over. there's almost no way she can come back. but, in fact, she then becomes a

south carolina republicans liked mccain and bush. they liked them both. not one and a thousand would believe george bush was capable of doing that. my personal view when it happened was i was afraid because i thought mccain would seize upon it to talk about himself. the story behind he and his wife's adoption of a young baby from a banquet negative orphan run by mother mary teresa is a story of compassion and love, just the kind of thing in a campaign would explain a lot about who john and cindy mccain worry and served as an enormous plus for them but still hold on let's wait a minute. here's what i want the people of south carolina and america to know about me. instead he said bush did this and shame on bush and i have no evidence pushed it but shame on bush. as a result was the whole mind set. it wasn't just this one event. this attitude made itself evident in other ways in south carolina that i talked about in the book and lost the primary for the can and lost the nomination in the presidential election. >> host: you also relate an incident he had a ch
