in the lower hudson valley they prefer to call themselves republicans or federal republicans. in fact, quote anti-federalists often wrote with federal, in the federal farmers, probably the best example. why? this has all kinds of implications but if you say federalists and anti-federalists you automatically have a lot of association with parties. there were no parties. they are preserving the national parties but there was something like them within the states, and if you think national party, there were no federal committees. there were no parties, period. if you think of it that way, you know, you become very -- i came to realize that we should think instead of a range of obedience, a spectrum of opinions in that only if we look at ideas and strategies changed over the course of the ratification debate could be ever understand why it was ratified. and then i had one other little discovery which may be giving an agenda for the future, that nobody called the first 10 minutes a bill of rights. not jefferson, not medicine, not washington. americans at the time thought there was

nan hayworth from new york's 19th district, beautiful hudson valley. the reason i am not in the hudson valley today is i am here with colleagues, all of home care very much about the american people. we are the immediate voice of the american people. we have received word from organizations representing small businesses, representing america's job creators across the country. i am going to point out the national federation of independent businesses, which, as you know, represents -- is representative and a voice for thousands and thousands of small businesses across the country. they say at two-month tax holiday presents publications and costs that would disproportionately affect small business. two months versus one year. common sense tells you that want year is far better. the president himself has been a strong advocate for a year-long table packs holiday extension bid -- the year-long payroll tax holiday extension. seniors are facing devastating cuts in medicare reimbursements that will make access extremely difficult. health-care providers have be

>> well, i've been talking with my constituents in the hudson valley of new york and i can tell you that yesterday one of them told me, on radio that goes across orange county, new york, that he's with me. he's with us because he says it will be very difficult for payroll administrators and small businesses to manage a two-month extension. it just doesn't make sense. so we're getting positive messages from our district and not just from that fellow citizen, but from many others. they want us to fight for them. and that's what we're doing. we will get them the relief they need. we want it to be the greatest possible arrangement that we can make for them in very challenging times. >> congresswoman nan hayworth, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> while the republicans jockey for position in iowa and new hampshire, team obama is looking at the whole country mapping out their path to victory. we're busting out our calculators. yes, i have a pocket calculator. show you the multiple ways president obama can beat a republican candidate whomever that might be. >>> still to come -- iraq's

i was on radio this morning in the hudson valley.itizens with whom i was speaking said we're doing the right thing. he agrees with pay roll administrators. with the national association of wholesaler dealers and many other organizations including as far as i know, the national federation of independent businesses. small business people who say, we can't deal very graciously at all with a mere two-month pay roll tax extension. ? doesn't that mean that speaker boehner can say whatever he likes. it is you and your cohort freshmen who are now running thing in the house. >> the house majority. responsible for this ill pass, has nothing to do with the president. >> we're here, martin, to solve the problem. that's it. here to be partisan. we're not here to obstruct. we are here to serve. we voted for a terrific bill on december 13th with democratic colleagues for a full year, a full year of payroll tax relief, for two years of reassurance to medicare patients and doctors, for a full 13 months of extension of unemployment benefits as -- as s

we just had a medicare telephone town hall today with our constituents in the beautiful hudson valley and one of the questions i was asked and most of the questions, we had a medicare administrator with us because it's open enrollment season for medicare riot that the country, i believe, up through december 7, so we were very grateful to have a medicare administrator with us who helped answer questions about some of the complexities of medicare because there are a number of them, as you might imagine. but we did get one question that was conspicuous because the gentleman asked me, and it's one that we've all been asked, as dr. desjarlais was saying not long ago, why are you, nan, why are you against medicare? and i explained to my constituents that, you know, gosh, it's exactly the opposite. i want to preserve and protect medicare. i want to make it secure and sound. this is very important to all of us, to me as a doctor, i had the privilege of practicing for 16 years, i'm an op that mol gist. many of my patients were seniors. and i'm the doctor of two elderly parents, both of whom re
