they have lived for a generation after the tierney of another salute monarch george iii of england and they were not about to enter a new president to become another king george. so they created a figurehead and that is all george washington was when they took his oath of office as president of the united states, the beloved old man that other founding fathers had put on the throne hoping he would smile and nod off to sleep. james madison who helped write the constitution explained, and these are the madison's words in our government the executive department is not a stronger branch of the system, but we. that is what madison said and what the framers believed and to the distress of millions over the years that is what we often had. but the framers forgot one thing. the name of the first chief executive was george washington. father of his country, commander-in-chief of the continental army, commanded now up into a storm of musket balls at the monument courthouse, the brilliant general who won an eight-year war of independence with a bunch of farmers against the most powerful well-trai

letitia tierney said she drank if the water but when asked if she would call it safe, she stopped short >> that's in a way a difficult ethnic say because everyone has a different definition of safe. i believe the water based on the standards we have is usable for every purpose including bathing cooking. >> nobody would use that word right? >> appropriate for use i think it's -- >> a way to pass blame. because nobody knows. we do not know if it's safe. >> just straight up ahead there. >> for sarah and kirk uncertainty is not an option when it comes to the birth of their new baby boy. >> you have to spend three months working on this room and you're going to be just moving right out. >> yeah, yeah, he play not get to sleep in his baby room. >> the couple spent months and planned to live years in this house now just days from his birth they're looking for a new place to live, a new place to watch their son grow without fear. >> this is exactly where we wanted to be. and this came along and pretty much bulldozed our dream. >> and joie a lot of people echo this same sentiment. this is a plac

one is the majority rule but not the majority tierney.econd is equality with liberty but not sameness inequality that would take away the incentives and the innovations of liberty. also, legitimacy through consistent processes. these are the essential agreements and whether or not you have a separation of the system or a more direct democracy, this must be present. then the unique honors are when you have to change to accommodate the political conditions. but i repeat that there is more. such is the intellectual parts. they were blessed with the distance from other countries and he also argues that the early entrants the united states brought with them was the outcome of enlightenment. they read the right place at the right time with the right ideas. energetic and diverse public spirit, acceptance of conflict, and trustworthy channels for representation. this is a little bit small and i will have to read some of this as well. and imagine hearing these words if you lived in tunisia or egypt or if you live in a rock. a great democratic revo

tierney say. everybody has their own definition of what safe mean his bolstered that definition by saying, some people think it's safe to parachute, which is not reassuring for people if they can drink water coming out of their taps a month after officials discovered a chemical leaking into the river. >> what else kale out of the hearing? >> a couple of interesting revelations from the safety board. they said that they were able to determine there are two holes in the tank. it looks like one hole's 19 millimeters and the other hole's 10 millimeters. we've heard before there was one one-inch sized hole, it's about the same. we also heard there was a private inspection of the tanks, hired by freedom industries, the company who owns the tanks, a private inspector came in october 2013 and looked at the tanks. since the materials housed within the tanks aren't considered hazardous enough, there aren't the right regulations in place to enforce the standards they were using in looking at tanks. that high

in consultation with the braking member tierney, i have a series of questions. really we try to get as many questions from the family as possible, so i will go through a series of questions. again, it will not answer every question that every family member have, but it is a good representation of some of their specific concerns. can tell you i that having reviewed the records , both the pilots that were operating this aircraft, exceptional quality skill, and high rating. there were some questions about why was there no pre-assault fire lay down before -- as this helicopter was coming in. would you help there for that, mr. reid? >> yes, sir, thank you. the use of assault fire is tactical base on the decisions on the ground. the objective of extortion 17 was to get into the lz and drop of the assault force in the party area without a learning -- without alerting the enemy. as we explained the other day, the enforcement were going to then walked closer to the target. so you are trying to achieve surprise. -- andin advance of that a suppressive fire motive -- would

tierney: i rise to ask immediate action on the unemployment compensation act which provides three monthsension of benefits. over 90% of the democratic caucus have signed onto this bill. constituents from across my district and i'm sure across the country have been sharing heartbreaking stories of hardship and pain because these benefits have expired. one constituent wrote to me and said, and i quote, i am one of the people whose benefits expired at the end of last year. my husband and i have tapped out all of our savings and i'm beside myself with worry wondering how to make the little we have remaining last longer. it's a mistake to end this crucial safety net for those struggling to get back on their feet, closed quote. we should not leave those like her out in the cold a day longer. in the moral imperative to act is not enough, mr. speaker, perhaps we should consider the economic benefits of extending unemployment insurance. economists across the spectrum agrees that unemployment benefits delivers $1.52 in economic activity for every dollar spent. this house should pass that bill imme
