i had people in virginia was first state to have a legislative holiday for martin luther king. took me eight years to get it. i got it passed in the senate, the house would kill it. i would get it passed in the senate and the governor would veto it and it passed in the house and the senate and that process went on. see, when you are changing the constitution you have to wait until a brand-new election of the full body comes in. that's why it took eight years. many of the people who voted against the measure came to be patrons of the bill and helped me to get it passed and so it's that single experience showed me that as hard it is to understand virginia of all places being the first state to have a legislative holiday for martin luther king, if that can happen, all of the things could too. >> can we talk about when chuck came to you to try and rally the -- >> rob. >> rob, sorry. the minority vote. what was your reaction when he came to you asking that? >> well, i helped him to get to be elected lieutenant governor and that was done relative to showing that he could bring a chan

in in leader pelosi observing the words of martin luther king jr. when he spoke on this issue back in 1956. it's kind of interesting, madam leader, king used two words. he said it was inhumane. but he also said it was egregious. egregious and inhumane. nothing can be more egregious in my opinion than saying to a diabetes, you can never get insurance coverage on your family's policy. nothing can be more inhumane than saying to a man with prostate cancer, a woman with breast cancer, that you have run out of treatments. and you can no longer rely upon your insurance. for treatment. i think that's -- i think that what's happened here today is the fact that a majority of the members of the united states house of representatives saw how inhumane and how egregious this manager's amendment would be for this very, very important area of all of our lives. all of us have had real, personal experiences with the need for health care and for treatment. and all of us know that no one of us can guarantee that we will never have a need for these kinds of treatments.
