the middle is a south carolina state flag. now to the right of that you have the second national flag of the confederacy, also known as the stainless banner, and that became the national flag in 1863. the first national flag looked too close to a u.s. flag. so this one is not going to be mistaken for a u.s. flag. february 18, 1865 is when charleston's reclaimed by the u.s army, that is when the civil war ended in charleston harbor, and when that flag goes up it signifies the end of the war. there are now 35 stars on the flag. actually two more states were added to the union or to the flag during the civil war, which include west virginia, which had seceded from virginia to join the union and then there was also kansas. >> although the u.s. army made repairs, the fort never saw action again. in 1948, it became a national monument and is managed by the national park service. there's a museum with lots of interesting exhibits to tell you more about the history of fort sumter. and if you're interested in the history of baseball, h

blackburn: i yield to the gentleman from south carolina. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. >> thank you, madam chairman. it's time to stop the spending insanity in this country. the american government knows the government is too large -- the american people know the government is too large. we're $14 trillion and $1.5 trillion in the red this year. it's got to stop. i'm part of an 87-member freshmen class that said, go back to the drawing board, give

those concerns with the president about the health care law and the mandates on the people of south carolina. so i'd ask my friend and colleague, are there things that we as a body ought to be considering to make life earlier for the people of your home state of south carried and i could talk of things about wyoming as we will. mr. graham: yes, if i may respooned to my colleague. number one, to senator barrasso, you have been a great addition to the republican caucus but to the senate as a whole. you are a doctor. you have been practicing medicine longer thawfn been in plirks i'm sure. and you see this problem from a physician's point of view, from the patient's point of view, and our presiding officer, recently a governor. here is what my governor is telling me, that medicaid is a program that needs to be reformed, not expanded the way we're doing it. the second-largest expense to the state budget in south exearl is medicaid matching money. for those that are home and may be ratching, medicaid is a program who are lowe low-income americans. it is a federal program and a state program. but i

flag and the confederate battle flag, which was the state flag of south carolina.rom the court room, i could look out the window and seaport sumter in the distance -- see fort sumter. they put me on a case with no marijuana. they invented imaginary marijuana. they said i was charged with conspiring to contribute 10 tons of colombian marijuana. i pled not guilty. i had a jury trial. i was found guilty on one account, acquitted on nine. i had an appellate case and the supreme court case. i was then facing 15 years. since may to nine. when i went to federal prison, i did time in eight different states in nine different federal prisons, including four penitentiaries -- that is a maximum security. including the united states penitentiary at marion, the first super federal max. that is on a marijuana convention. -- conviction. i spent most of my time in solitary confinement. you do not know this, but if you plead not duty and you get a jury trial and then you have an appellate case, you go directly to solitary confinement. were you do not have access to the law library.

where i grew up in '96, south carolina, a little rural everybody farmed. theren m was a cotton mill. and the great 1934 textile strike was one of the largest strikes there. u and one of the stories i grewut up, the very mill they'd put barbed wire around and machine guns were put on top in 1934 toi discourage -- but it goes to a i point you had made earlier and thatught is the idea that gatlig thought this would save lives. >> yes. >> it's the same idea that was behind the bomb that was droppe. on japan. and this is a way lincoln was thinking. b lincoln has to be considered responsible for allresp these o deaths, or so many of them. he and jefferson davis, i think, in you the civil war. but it was his way of if you could stop the war by winning it, he had nor force -- more o forces going forward as a symbol to stop it. and i think that's what goes onw with police force as well. d >> and that notion of deterrenct is absolutely true. scientists created the atomic e bomb and were facing the same situation. they were told create a weaponta so horrific it will

my name is debbie brown, and i'm originally from south carolina. i've been living in georgia for 25 years, i'm an origin south carolinian as i've traced my family roots back to 1705 -- >> wow, congratulations. >> the french hugh nots came from canada to the charleston area and from west africa as well. my roots run very deep. as a matter of fact, my family history was with chronicled in the movie with deliberate speed with sidney poitier which is thurgood marshall's first case in south carolina which was brig g v. elliot. >> congratulations. >> and up into brown v. board of education in topeka, kansas. my question is -- although i'm from south carolina, educated in virginia, i stayed in the south as many of my relatives did because a lot of them worked for the railroad which was a pretty good job during that time, and there was no reason to lee -- leave the south. but a number of them took the same route your mother did, it ran through south carolina, took you to philadelphia, new york, boston, connecticut and those areas. in many speaking with the,

the parents come out of the carolinas, south carolina, north carolina, meet in washington d.c. that the whole load on the train. >> i get to that, too. >> keeper getting killed. and then end of world war two he came back and started a family life. the issue is, i can remember vividly, this nasty stain that stereotyping the children. the ones you just come up from the south. they are the bamut kids, the kids who are ignorant and backwards. that was a painful to one -- existence. it might have mellowed as the generations went on, but in the earlier generations that was some vicious, nasty kind of culture that was created. a lot of people could not overcome that.

mulvaney of south carolina. the chair: the gentleman from south carolina, mr. mulvaney and member opposed will each control three minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from south carolina. mr. mulvaney: i understand the historic nature of what has been hearing than. but i rise because the debt and deficit problems facing are greater in this nation. the circumstances demand that we go just a little bit further than we have. nondefense discretionary spending. instead of 2008. that represents an additional 3% savings which on one hand doesn't sound like that much but on the other hand, saves $134 billion of the $900 billion worth of deficits that we will incur between tomorrow and the rest of this year. folks have asked me why i waited three years to do it and why we are here at 1:00 to hear this amendment and i'm doing it because i feel most of the folks don't grasp the size of the difficulty and i know most of the folks don't grasp it yet and i have been struggling how to explain what a $1,trillion debt. we put this together using numbers from the baseline

john agreed to meet up with us in hiltonhead, south carolina. john, thank you so much for meeting with us today. i just want to know how the barracuda came about. well, that's something i love to talk about, and it's a lot of fun to meet people that are interested in the cars that we used to build a long time ago. actually, i probably should start with the concept of the first barracuda. we had a designer in the room named irving richie, and he always loved fastback cars, especially the gm cars of the late '40s, and there hadn't been any fastbacks produced for about 10 years. so he got the idea "maybe we could make a fastback out of the valiant," and he did some sketches and finally did a full-sized layout drawing, and it looked very feasible. so the styling executives thought that was a good idea, and they presented it to the plymouth division executives. they thought it was great, too-- here'd be a low-priced, sporty car. anyway, we were given a go-ahead to do a full-sized clay model of it. i was given the task of doing some sketches for the r

african-american communities in mississippi and south carolina. and urban communities in philadelphia, new york, baltimore, and st. louis. . democrats represent 149 of these counties with a total population of 8.7 million. the republicans represent 311 of these counties with a total population of 8.3 million. with a total population of 5.3 million, 4 of them, are split between democrats and republicans. a total of 43 democrats and 84 republicans represent at least in part or one of these counties. 35 of the 50 states have at least one persistent poverty county. 15 of south carolina's 46 counties meet this ignoble distinction. and similarly, in the sixth congressional district, that i proudly represent. this is not a red state of blue state issue. that's why in the map beside me, the persistent poverty communities are colored in purple because poverty knows no political affiliation. poverty has never been limited to race, region, or creed. for many years, communities along the i-95 corridor in south carolina were passed over for economic developmen

calhoun of south carolina. john c. calhoun said the north is constantly harassing us. they don't understand what the situation is. and, therefore, the southern states need to come together and decide on a course of action. and so, the situation exists and henry clay worked for weeks. it's not easy to find a solution. look, for example, on the relation between israel and palestine. do you think it can ever be resolved? it's one of those issues that seems impossible. to end. clay said slavery in our time would never be ended. he had a recommendation of how we would go about it. he said pick a date, doesn't matter what date it is, but pick one. let's say 186418541855. anybody born after that date will automatically become a free on reaching the age of 21. those who were born before that date will remain slaves until they died. and this would be slow, gradual elimination. and he didn't want the slaves, freed slaves to remain in this country. he suggested that they be sent back to where many of them did return, and states today have people whose names are washington and cal

i know the answer in south carolina. my governor, my legislators want to opt out of expanded medicaid because it will bankrupt the state. they don't want any part of the employer mandates. so i would challenge the congress, if repeal and replace doesn't work, let the individual states have a say about whether or not they want to be in the system. i do hope we can repeal it and replace it and that vote's coming up soon. but the amount of tax increases in this bill, $17 billion in individual penalties, $52 billion in employer penalties, $500 billion taken out of medicare to help pay for the uninsured. at the end of the day, the formula, the construct of this bill i think is going to grow the size and scope of the federal government when it comes to health care at a time we need more private-sector competition in medicine. it's going to increase taxes on businesses at a time when we should lower their taxes. and it's going to make it very hard in the future for senior citizens to find doctors to take medicare because at the

them with arms and clothes, and proclaimed freedom, 20,000 negroes would join from georgia and south carolinanarrator: the english came to the same conclusion, and lord dunmore, the british governor of virginia, issued a proclamation inviting slaves to join the royal forces. quote: "i do hereby declare all negroes free, that are willing to bear arms, for the more speedily reducing the colony to a proper sense of their duty to his majesty's crown and dignity." (lord dunmore) narrator: despite the many obvious reasons to serve under the british, the negro's primary loyalty was to the principle of liberty. a slave poet named phillis wheatley expressed those sentiments in a letter, which was published in the connecticut gazette in 1774. quote from letter: "in every human breast, god has implanted a principle, which we call love of freedom; it is impatient of oppression, and pants for deliverance." (poet phillis wheatley) narrator: alexander hamilton held, such beliefs went to the heart of the revolution and pressed the continental congress to allow black men to enlist. quote: "i have not the leas

they were the early years of the black awareness, robert williams was active in south carolina. there was a period of time when the cot in the back of the store was a drop off for various disassembled armaments. sometimes someone we didn't know would put something under the mattress, making the cot unusable for several days. someone would come by and take the hardware away in a shopping bag and that would be it for a week or so. there was often a black photographer who would come to the shop with an empty shopping bag. when he left, he with leave in a zigzag and eventually get on a bus going south. >> i wanted to read a poem that was sent by the poet that i invited to the recent san francisco international poetry festival from iraq i've been in touch with for more than a year and a half. after the united states would not give him his visa, i asked him -- i told him about mutanabbi street and he wrote a poem and he wrote it in english, though he writes in, of course, in arabic. but this one he wrote in english. so i'll read it. one figure in the poem you should know, humbaba, whi

i thank my leader from south carolina. the prior gentleman who spoke is right, americans are asking where are the jobs? and the majority is saying, we'll get to that later. this week the first thing that they did was to try to rush to the floor without hearings or consideration an extension of the patriot act, which is a very serious and profound issue for the country, and it didn't work. then they brought to the floor a bill that was supposed to recover money from the united nations which we are all for, but the congressional budget office says it wouldn't actually save any money, the new york state police commissioner said, it would be harmful to his efforts to protect the people of new york against terrorism that might come up around the united nations, and i think the rest of the world said, why is the united states rocking the boat at a time when there is profound global crisis going on, the most dangerous area of the world? that didn't work. they then brought to the floor this bill which commendably says that committ

south carolina governor, nikki haley, the youngest in office at 39.n hickenlooper just sworn into office last month and arizona governor, republican jan brewer has taken some tough cuts to manage the budget gap. governors, thank you for being here. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> let's start with the other upraising in wisconsin. scott walker has sought to cut the benefits of some employees and also restrict their collective bargaining rights. is this the right move? >> absolutely. we appreciate the public employees. but our job as governor is to look after the tax payers. he's doing what he promised to do. he's trying to make the tough decisions that the people of wisconsin wanted him to do. i think the shame is that you have democrat senators representing the people of wisconsin that have so cowardly that they left their own state. i think that's an absolute slate of who should be thrown out of office as soon as they get back. it's absolutely unfortunate. >> governor hickenlooper, you want to weigh in? >> i spent a number of years in the restaurant
