madison. he was a quaker. he called him james. but he died unfortunately in 1817 or his own influence might have been somewhat beneficial on decolonization movement. james portman in philadelphia, a great inventor, was for pollinization in the beginning so it was bishop richard helen was the major with the just leader in philadelphia but in january of 1817 after the founding of the american colonization, they had a meeting of 3,000 african-americans, 3,000. and put it to a vote that none of them wanted to have anything to do with colonization so they had to shift and change their mind, they had to go along with the overwhelming african-americans in philadelphia. and were opposing the colonization so we got fed up in 1817 but black opposition to colonization which had been -- i forgot to say jefferson, president jefferson was very much forgotten and so was president lincoln even after the emancipation proclamation for sometime, he still would cleaned of little bit to colonization so i think it is a misunderstood cause. one thing i

james madison university mascot from a bull dog, i gray steel, steely gray block. basically we thought it would be just kind of fun to mess with people's heads but did not realize how far out of control it will snowball. it started with me passing around a petition to change the mascot. somehow i got 400 signatures which seemed to threaten the fans. they passed around a counter petition. and then i got my friend to submit a bill to change the mascot even though there was no chance of passing. completely free to of the campus homecoming at year, the marching band, dog bones around an ax as a sign of solidarity. we love the duke talk. first reported to me that someone threw, created an effigy of a the react a and threw it into the stands, just devoured and stomped. and when -- yakima when asked what was going on someone said, some walking faggots are an attractive chickens the mask of. that was to five early 90's rural virginia college. so then i did not know anything about writing press releases. i recently found this really ridiculous heat poorly written press rele

james madison once said that the u.s. constitution was the work of many heads and many hands. and the same could be justly said of this great collective effort to update our partice's ideas consistent with its long standing principles of upward mobility, shared responsibility for the weak and a strong but limited government. for my part, i have pressed for legislation in recent month that is addresses a variety of concerns to the voters of my state. for example, the family friendly and workforce flexibility act which i introduced along with senator ayotte would allow working mothers to enter into a voluntary agreement with their employer wrsh they would be able to bank overtime compensation in the form of time off rather than more pay. the expanding opportunity through quality charter schools act would provide more and better educational choices to families who have made it very clear to me how disappointed they are in their current options and how frustrated they are with teachers unions that block any progress. and then there's the national right to work act, a bill i've cos

levin why do you continue to claim that james madison opposed nullification when he clearly stated in that document you reference that thomas jefferson's idea of the rights of nullification is the natural right. what is nullification? >> guest: you know this happens from time to time. there is a relatively small fringe effort out there to push an agenda and nullification is one of them and there are others too. even the secession movement going on. i would ask the professor can he point to one place in madison's notes the most conference of notes of the constitutional convention where nullification is mentioned? he can't. can the professor point to anywhere in the constitution were no vacation is mentioned? he can't. so what he does and others do as they try and construe the 10th amendment which leaves all powers not specifically conferred on the federal government with the states. a nullification amendment, the there's no such thing. they act like liberals the way they twist and spin and reinterpret what took place. he talks about jefferson. i have a great admiration for jefferson. j
