colleges and do all that work but you got to do some work on the issue of campaign finance and overturning the citizens united decision. this is my first campus progress conference too but what i learned in my 90 minutes here or so is campaign progress loves a response. we created a website democracy is for people. it's a really radical notion, democracy for people not for organizations. go there and sign up and we'll get you engaged and tell you what you can do, doing as much as you want to do to work on a constitutional amendment to deal with the influence of money and politics. since it's a radical motion and i know this is a radical audience let me see you can do democracy is for people. if i get a chance at a couple times and i feel like i went home and i did my job. democracy is for people. forget the word. democracy is for people. democracy for people. now, if you go out and you sort of chant that to people in the street we will build a movement.

. >> what does this tell us about campaign finance law in a post citizens united world? >> well, i think there's a lot of good questions that sort of come up because of citizens united. the fec has come under criticism because a lot of people don't think it's enforcing to a great extent. it's not enough disclosures. i think this sort of poked fun at the situation and brought it to a larger audience. this is something the fec typically never has anywhere near this type of size of audience coming out to any of their meetings. i mean, it's usually typically a few reporters and some lawyer so show up. but this is a situation where you had throngs of people sta standing outside of the commission, and you had lines down the block with people trying to get in. >> but one thing i noted, one commissioner who voted against colbert, what was his reason? >> he was on the conservative side. he had some technical questions, but i think broadly he agreed with most of the impetus of the decision. >> but some groups were concerned this ruling would set a dangerous precedent. do they have

i was the first channel to that it is a us financed channel belonging to saudi arabia and based in united arab emirates the same report was repeated by many other satellite channels but this is a deliberate policy keesha also we saw a c.n.n. report not long ago from a mobile phone you bought gadhafi soldiers raping women and that it was surely no pleasure to see the footage so some frame so were blurred it turned out though that someone recognized the oil as being from a libyan who are now moving there not so many libyan porno movies so that one was widely known so that fragment was used to claim it had been raped by gadhafi strips i think it was a deliberate montage not a mistake a usa demanded that the satellite broadcasts of libyan channels are stopped all over the world they have already shut down the arab channels used by plebian being a stakeholder and now they are shutting down and i'll say to prevent libya's version being heard in the arab world they have already shut them down on other satellites are broadcasting to other countries. thank you very much for being with us i wish yo

shortly the story of the czech villages and it's so off the military might of the united states itself the headlines in the finance.

you might call it citizens united the squeequel, putting campaign finance regulations the court's latesting on campaign finance represents a ghastly attempt it kill off any future possibilities of reform. on monday the supreme court stuck drown a provision in arizona clean election act that provided additional funds to candidates who chose to accept public financing instead of private financing. here's how that law worked. if you run for office in arizona you can choose to be a publicly or privately funded candidate. about two-thirds of candidates in arizona opt for public financing. those candidates had access to an initial lump sum's public money to fund their campaign, but if their privately afunded poent or ally spend more money on their campaign than the publicly funded candidate received in their initial state grant, the state gives the public candidate additional, nearly matching, funds. to put it in terms of sean connery in "the untouchables" if you're the publicly fngsed candidate and you bring a knife and your opponent brings a gun, the state gives you a gun as well. the public

financing for the presidential and hopefully for the congressional. it's a system that would not have the same kind of spending limits, absolutely not, because you can't with the citizens united's decision, it makes no sense. but that does not take away the fundamental argument about why the way we finance our elections needs to be substantially changed and significantley revised and the option to ensure that candidates are not beholden to their special interest-givers and their bundlers remains i think even more compelling today. >> host: our guest is meredith mcghee, she'll be with us until 10:00, we're talking about the public funding of presidential campaigns, (202)624-1111 for democrats 202662. and journal espn.org and twitter espnwj. the funding mechanism on the tax file for you, is that correct? >> guest: yes, there's a checkoff. a lot of peoples misunderstand it. it's one of the few opportunities, maybe the only opportunity for when a taxpayer is given their bill and say this is how much you are going to owe on your taxes based on everything you've told us, here's an opportunity for you to decide what to do with the money you already are going to have to pay. and you ca

we also discussed the international economic situation your finance talked about the euro zone talk about the financial situation in the united states basically we covered all important issues so i think these consultations were very productive i think and based on mutual trust i think you. see. where asking for two questions from each of us to parts of x. . we'll start with the interfax. the fact interfax news agency if you can my question is for madam chancellor rushing him this week with nothing happening it's morning since germany's going to give up nuclear power generation ability stuff or energy resources you could mention that you will emphasize alternative sources of energy but still i would like to ask you if you are going to increase gas deliveries from russia. your questions. if you supply a little to be sold. in the comical the mix here of our government and we'll. need additional forces additional resources as we abandon the nuclear industry and we. have. developed a strong network of gas. gas supply from great britain from norway from russia of course and russian enterprises. increase their gas supply to russia.

if you live in the tradable sector what you find is that the ones where the united states is quite competitive, finance, computer design, managing multinational enterprises, consulting, there's growth in everything. there's growth in income. there's growth in diet added. there's growth in employment. and then you look at the long supply chain and the things we call manufacturing company with a a lot of the components of that supply chain or services, the lower value added parts of those are moving offshore, and that's where the middle -- the lower, middle to lower part of the spectrum in terms of education income and so on on the tradable side was deployed. so we could've had an unemployment problem by said the non-tradable sector essentially absorb them and then go look where it was absorbed. the answers government, health care, construction, retail, all the big employment sectors. government and health care was 40% of the increment. you know, economists are supposed to have crystal balls, and i certainly don't, but i at least wanted whether that trajectory is sort of going to continue in the future.
