is this not playing out in north carolina, georgia, and kentucky? and indeed it is. we look at tom tillis' record, and he wants to go further on limiting women's access to birth control than even the hobby lobby decision did. so for us on emily's list, we are about winning elections, and we know, as do the voters, that our candidates are the ones that are going to stand up for women's rights period. but with the voters, in particularly north carolina, tennessee, kentucky, want to be hearing from their leaders is about economic opportunity. it is about a fair shot for a future that will be good for their families. for women and families, health care is a huge piece of economic opportunity. i will hear that conversation play out in the weeks to come. >> tell us a little more about -- it is not just about women candidates for your group, but about getting women voters to cast their votes for them. when democrats have talked about particular issues they may have in the mid-term election, young women is one of the groups that gets mentioned most often as being drop-off vo

if this is notn played in north carolina or georgia or kentucky? it is in different ways. further on access to birth control and limiting access to birth control than the hobby lobby decision did. these are important issues. we are about winning elections. we know that our candidates are the ones. they stand up for women's rights. they want to be talking about and hearing from their leaders andt economic opportunities a fair shot for a future that is going to be good for their families. health care is a huge piece of economic opportunity. they're going to hear that conversation play out. have talked about women candidates and getting women voters to cast their votes for them. when democrats talk about turnout issues that they have in midterm elections, young women is of the groups a gets most often. are more likely to turn out in a presidential year. what are you doing to ensure democratically group shows up at the polls in the races that you are interested in this year? >> this is so important in a midterm game that we are playing. had it we ensure that voters get out to

it is a question of how you get food from north carolina and georgia and mississippi to be troops. but wirz is is in south georgia where food is available. food could have been commandeered. food could have been bought. the local women who simply want to bring fresh vegetables to the starving prisoners in andersonville could have been allowed to bring the food or they could have brought them to the camp and the camp could have brought -- camp officers and soldiers could have brought them to the prisoners. freshwater could have been obtained in a variety of ways, one of which was to order the troops upstream to stop using this creek as a latrine. the other thing would have been to take a detail of prisoners every day and march them upstream, fill large barrels with buckets of water and bring them down. prisoners could have marched all day long up-and-down bringing water. you would have freshwater. wirz does not do any of those things. instead he thinks of new ways to harass prisoners and prevent them from getting basic nutrition and any kind of basic health. it strikes me when we th
