these nuns persistence and unflinching sacrifice influence my mother's life and my life. my mother was in high school when the march on washington occurred. the weeks leading up to the march, my mother participated in many peaceful demonstrations and picket lines in front of the white house. again, this is another example of unshakable persistence and sacrifice. she did this being afraid and not reacting when the white agitators were spitting on her and her girlfriend. it was important for her to peacefully continue in her fight for justice and civil rights. i mother was the first to obtain a college degree and went on to an education in education that lasted for decades. my work ethic was derived from her. when you are the daughter of a teacher and administrator i had a front row seat to watching a woman at work in the classroom. most of all, i would -- i truly mean this and the gravity of this hit me last week when i was before commission -- rules committee. i'm humbled and thankful for the many african-american women here who have paved the way for me, naomi kelly. sup

tippins response they wrote the nuns off as a group of people that are trying divided america dipped and also so that the nuns a lack of understanding of how to pay for federal programs kept its comments are interesting especially considering that republicans in washington they're doing all they can to help the wealthy elite prosper and leave the middle class in the dust now congressman chip who is really trying to divide america and the very very ugly robert murray number one mitt romney talked about coal in the debate last week. and by the way i like coal i'm going to make sure we get to burn clean coal people in the coal industry feel like it's getting crushed by your policies. so why is romney look you know for the interests of big coal so much because he gets a lot of money from it and especially from robert murray's murray energy one of the largest coal mining operators in america according to a piece in the new republic murray all but coerces his employees into donating to republican political campaigns and threatens to cut their bonuses or demote them if they don't the new re

joining me tonight is sister simone campbell, leader of the nuns on the bus.of network, a national catholic social justice lobby. sister, good to have you with us tonight. let's do the math, if we can, for just a moment. do you believe most churches have an extra $50,000 lying around to pick up the tab that ryan describes himself as a man of faith? how do we get through all of this? do the churches have the kind of money to follow the plan that he's putting forth? >> absolutely not. i mean, it's really shocking to think that he believes that churches can do this. what he doesn't know is how hard people are working right now, how much they depend on the food subsidies, just even to get food on family tables and how churches are stretched already in food pantries, feeding programs, all kinds of places already giving so much. this $50,000 for each house of worship would be an additional amount to what they have already raised. it's impossible. >> do people in the inner city need to be taught good discipline and good character. that's what paul ryan believes. >> i

and that's why i love the nuns on the bus.s because they are telling us, they are not assuming with consultants that middle class people don't care about poor people or low income people. they are saying, we as a country, ought to care about them. and you know, i love to see a politician say what fdr once said. he said better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference. and i just feel like we're letting ourselves get frozen in our own indifference because no one takes on the demonizing of the poor or defending programs for the poor that actually work and that's what the nuns on the bus are out there doing. >> e.j., let's go back it 2008 and vice presidential debate where joe biden is up against sarah palin. everyone knew she was information challenged and there was a tight rope joe biden was walking there. he didn't want to come out overbearing or disrespectful because that could have hurt him. it took the tick wet female voters in america

there were two nuns who looked after her. they had wanted to see mata hari, the true mata hari once before she died. she had shown them as best she could, though her long, wretched months in the prison had stolen most of her grace and loveliness. the last appeals and her quest for pardons had failed. there was no other reason they would awaken her in the dark hours, she was to be shot at dawn. the nuns hovered in the background as she heard the dreadful news. she had perhaps already decided to die as she had lived, with flair and courage. she had nothing left but pride and dignity. she would die as matta hard ri. the men left the room while she dressed slowly and carefully for this, her last performance. she wanted to look her best, but she had no extensive wardrobe to choose from, only what her captors had allowed her. she asked permission to wear a corps set, which was given -- corset which was given. she also donned the only decent clothes she had been allowed, the ones she had worn to her trial; stockings, a low-cut blous
