frances willard, for example, in the 19th century, was a leader of the temperance union. of course, we think of temperance has a very outdated cause. at the time, it was a feminist issue. it was implicated in family violence and desertion. all the leading suffragists were in the temperance movement. but frances willard was able to attract a lot of religious women. initially, this was not a popular cause. it wasn't that men were against it -- many were. but many women were against suffrage. for complicate reasons i will not go into. if you just appeal to them and abstract ideals, they were unmoved. what frances willard did is show that with the home -- with the the, women could protect the homes they dearly loved. they could protect their families with votes, she attracted mainstream religious women into the movement. there is a wonderful sociologist who has shown how women made their greatest progress when there is a conservative and progressive wing in the movement and worked together. i think that is a big problem today. we don't have a conservative wing. we don't even h

. >> the spanish prime minister is tempering expectations about what a european union bailout would accomplish. he said today that the bailout would help shore up the banks but he warned it won't prevent the country from further job losses and it won't pull the country out of its second recession in three years. currently unemployment in spain stands at a record high of about 25%. yesterday spain agreed to accept a bailout of 125a billion dollars. a formal loan request is expected before june 21stu. >> concerns that the former egyptian president is rapidly growing very ill, slipping in and out of consciousness. it was just a week week ago when he was convicted of being an accessory to the killing of hundreds of protesters during the up rising. his health has been failing in recent months but it has increased rapidly since he was sentenced to life in prison. one unnamed official said the 82-year-old was only on liquids and yogur? . the president of venezuela said the latest round of tests after his cancer treatment show he is doing fine. he plans to register tomorrow to run again for president

when i walked out of here with the labor unions come out about what they are doing. >> it is to help temper joint the -- it is to help them joined the unions, which is great. if you come out of the army, you have been in the army 25 years, you will not want to be hired as a journeyman electrician. that is what the union wants to do. you will go to a right to work state. that is rude reality. >> thank you. as the mission continues, we are using the people of service as a strategy for venture. we are finding that it is leading to employment, continued education. currently, madam chairman, we're not receiving any federal funding to do that. i believe the gi bill represents an opportunity to expand what we allow veterans to focus at funding on and use the training program or the education program that they want to use as a vehicle to further employment. that vehicle is service. finding a year in service might just be possible within the gi bill itself. >> thanks. thanks for holding this hearing. captain, like to see you -- nice to see you. >> i know one potential might be -- and maybe it is her

union army felt that way. george g.mead was the only commander, the army of the potomac ever had. tall, skinny, heavy builded, hook-nosed with an uncontrollable temper that caused officers to refer to him as, quote, a down dog, snapping turtle. mead was a better listener than a talker. in 1863, a new yorker wrote, nearly everyone in the army from the highest to the lowest have lost all confidence in general mead as the a fighting man. but we all have the greatest confidence in his ability to keep us out of the way of the rebels. the army's marshall put it more bluntly. i cannot make out these plans. because he cannot make them out himself. thus, the start of 1864 found the war continuing. with no turning point in sight. as usual, congressmen talked much, said little, did nothing. but the year was critical, a presidential election loomed in november, emancipation was still in its first steps, war weariness in the north might well be checked and the lincoln administration in favor of a negotiated peace. in short the very fate of the union hung in the balance. as early as january, feelings were strong as someone outside politics might be good, good pre

unions. but i also think we should temper that with the knowledge that most -- a lot of the citizens in wisconsinse they believed that the only reason for recall is for incompetence or unethical behavior, not for policy differences. so i think we ought to appreciate that. and by the way, steven, preeminent comes with old age and senility. i've had people say he's a preeminent politician. so i think you're earning that. you're on the verge of earning that. >> it's nice to know. >> for liesman, what did you say, senility check. we're good on that. other than that, and i don't know how closely you follow all the polling numbers, senator. where do you think we are right now in the general election? i see 52 for the president's re-election and i think mitt romney's up to about 43. that's not, you know, in concrete, obviously, and it's been coming down. but an incumbent president has a lot of advantages. do you think it's a pretty tight race here? >> i think it's a tight race. and i note that number is coming down. i think it was up around 58 or 60. for those that follow it. the impact of the latest ec

temper tantrums. it inspired us to fight back. i mean this was a battle over fiscal responsibility and the voters chose balancing the budget. >> do you think the voters also are sending unions a message here? because the union response has been we've had far more gains and defeats and you just heard from a gentleman that voters don't understand what they're voting for. they don't know they may be accidentally screwing their fellow voters and friends and firemen and teachers and they have no idea what's going on here. there are other ways to cut, not on the backs of the public workers. what do you say? >> wisconsin had a $3.6 billion deficit. scott walker balanced the budget. we have all like mentioned -- somebody mentioned before we've lost our 401(k) matches, our hire paying jobs, healthcare costs are up, we asked union workers to pitch in 10% of their healthcare cost and 6% of their retirement. it's time we all share the sacrifice. >> all right. >> it boggles my mind. >> nancy, thank you very much. good seeing you. >>> did any of you get a chance to see this? >> when i apply the standard i mentioned and the standards which send senator obama laid out or the standards in e
