george mason and, george mason of virginia and of massachusetts and edmund randolph who was then governor of virginia refused to sign it and mason said he would rather have his hand cut off than to sign the document, so there was a good deal of confiscation of the constitution. then the problem was the election of the members of the state ratification conventions and first of all, only white male clinton voters could serve in office or vote once with that limited the vote and in that case pennsylvania, none of the small farmers had any representation at the constitutional convention, these were all the wealthy bankers from philadelphia and patrick henry pointed that out the people in pennsylvania were robbed. they had no say at the constitutional convention and in the final ratification process. they had no say in that process. down here in virginia fortunately the farmers did have some representation, they had already fought for that in the early days of the legislature. but patrick madison made a deal with the moderate and the federalists to switch sides of the last minute. he promised

just as king george and his prime minister lord north had done in boston in 1774. many called henry a prophet at the time. since then, a succession of presidents have led the united states into undeclared wars without the consent of congress has henry predicted. and congress has enacted hundreds of laws and imposed dozens of taxes that have extent the government intrusion into every area of american lives and homes. again, as henry predicted. even george washington and alexander hamilton would be appalled at the extent to which government has intruded into the lives of americans today. for better or for worse. government today is in our bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, our kitchens, garages, tool sheds, in our workplaces, cars, trains, and planes, in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe. in our lakes and streams, our mountains, our skies, and the ground beneath us. the hands of government, too often the hands of corrupt officials, reach into our pockets for more tax dollars every day during our lifetimes and even after our deaths.

george? >> okay, matt gutman, thank you. our weather editor and my "gma" colleague sam champion joins us now. and sam, we keep calling this an arctic blast and that's not poetic license, it's literally true. >> reporter: it's the real deal. arctic air is locked well up in canada this time of year. when you see the jet stream like this, where it's open to the eastern seaboard, it's like turning on the faucet and pouring all of this arctic air straight down into florida. as a matter of fact, every day in orlando, in december, has been below normal. so, that's what's so unusual about this. it's the timing of it. it's a little early and how long it's lasted. >> how much more of this are we in for? >> reporter: well, by about wednesday night into thursday, the jet stream, which is allowing the cold air to get there, goes flat across the middle of the country. it becomes the border of the cold air. so, it shoves the cold air up to the north and allows the temperatures to get milder in florida. by friday, they're back in the 70s. b

george grew up much closer. it is something about people who grew up within ten miles of lake erie, you can ask them which way is north and they always seem to know which direction the lake is even though they can't see it from that point. much of his career has been driven, you can see what he's done with the importance of the greatest natural resource next to our people that our country has -- the five great lakes. his commitment always to maintaining that lake as the pristine quality of that lake in terms of recreation, in terms of drinking water, in terms of industry, in terms of all the things that the great lakes that erie does. the other thing i think of with george voinovich is that his push always, is always elevating the discussion about the quality of the federal workforce. the term public servant, unfortunately, doesn't mean -- those two words don't mean in the public's mind what they used to. partly deserved perhaps because of some people's missteps or worse, but mostly because people, they run camp

for george, it was never about him.he would never take full credit for the growth and prosperity cleveland enjoyed or the fact that he was named one of the nation's top mayors. it was always about the people of cleveland working together to make the city they knew and loved great again. george's outstanding work as mayor helped him win the governor's mansion in 1990 where he served two terms. he faced a fiscal mess in columbus, too, and worked hard to rein in spending. one of his signature achievements as governor was education reform and in particular the cleveland school voucher program, which provided thousands of low-income students with the opportunity for a better education and ultimately greater opportunities in life. but his record of success as governor was deep and far-reaching. he helped restore ohio's economy, balanced its budget and saw unemployment hit a 25-year low. and for a job well done, the voters of ohio re-elected george to a second term of governor in 1994 with a remarkable 72% of the vote. blocked
